Sex on the Beach shooters are the epitome of the fruity cocktail. Two official versions of this classic shooter exist. The version in "Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide" contains three different types of alcohol and two different types of fruit juices. The International Bartender Association's recipe calls for two types of alcohol and two fruit juices. You can, of course, create your own version of the Sex on the Beach cocktail by mixing and matching the ingredients.
