Sex on the Beach Cocktail
Sex on the Beach drink is a fruity, sweet cocktail that was concocted in Florida in the late 1980s. This 0-carb/low carb version of the recipe is just as yummy but without those pesky carbs. Flavors of tropical fruit, cranberry, and peach blend together with a little club soda for sparkle in this easy, refreshing adult beverage.
For this recipe you’ll need: vodka, cranberry vodka, peach vodka, Mio Energy Tropical Fusion water enhancer, club soda, lime slices, ice
Last summer I created the wildly popular low carb version of Sex in the Driveway. It’s a gorgeous blue drink that is so good you just feel like you might be on a cruise or something. This year I wanted to make a Sex on the Beach drink to go along with it. That proved to be more difficult than I thought it would be! Many of the regular Sex on the Beach cocktail ingredients are pretty high in carbs.
However, with plenty of failures I am happy to report that I prevailed!
This tropical flavored cocktail does not taste like a diet drink or a low carb drink at all. The flavor of the fruit is all there and the sparkle from the club soda adds a nice little extra something. This diabetic friendly cocktail has 0 carbs because we’ll be using flavored vodkas and 0 carb water enhancer to mimic the fruit juice. Smirnoff flavored vodka is 0 carb but if you decide to use a different brand be sure and check to make sure that it is also carb-free.
The only water enhancer that I’ve found that has the right flavor is the Mio Energy Tropical Fusion. There isn’t really a substitute for this. You’ll have to decide how much is right for your tastes – it’s hard to measure an exact squirt of the stuff! I’d suggest adding it a few drops at a time until the flavor is exactly as you like it.

I use these Mio Water Enhancer flavors quite a lot in my low carb cocktails and if you can’t find them locally it’s more cost effective to buy them in a batch. Flavors include the Tropical Fusion you need for the Sex on the Beach drink as well as Green Thunder, Wicked Blue Citrus, and Strawberry Pineapple.
