Why? Because it’s alcoholic and oh-so drinkable. That obviously means it’s dangerous. VERY dangerous.

But the main reason why people love it the most is: it’s blue!
It’s exotic! It’s a holiday drink that reminds them of sitting on the beach and staring at the deep blue sea (…and drinking booze).

What’s the Best Occasion to Serve a Sex in the Driveway drink?
It’s great for most adult-only parties.
A summer BBQ is great, but with kids around…it could get awkward.
It’s great for summer parties as it’s pretty easy to make large quantities of this drink and serve it in jugs / pitchers.
Also great for a girl’s night in.
Can this Cocktail Be Made Into a Slushy?
Yes, it absolutely can!
You can use crushed ice to blend it with the other ingredients:
- Add the crushed ice to a cocktail shaker, add the Vodka, Peach Schnapps, and Blue Curacao and shake well to get it all mixed.
- Pour into your Highball Glass.
- Add in your Sprite.
- Stir with your bar spoon.
OR you can use your margarita or ice cream maker to do pretty much the same thing.
Can I Make Large Batches of this Drink Recipe?
Yes, you absolutely can! This recipe is perfect for pitchers!
I go into the specifics here, but essentially just make sure you keep equal amounts of everything – also make sure you mix it all well!
Is there a Low Carb Variation of this Recipe?
The first and best option to protect the drink and the flavour is to swap at the regular Sprite for a sugar -free version.
If you wanted to take it a step further, you could cut the Peach Schnapps in favour of a sugar-free Peach Syrup, but once you get into this territory you’re losing the essence of the drink.
About the Sex in the Driveway Drink Recipe
Sex on the Driveway, Sex in the Driveway…call it whatever you want…
…BUT! You have to call it delicious!
Peach Schnapps, Vodka, and Sprite go so well together and when you add in the Blue Curacao it makes for a VERY boozy and exotic-looking cocktail.
That’s also as tasty as hell.
Boozy + Tasty = dangerous and possibly questionable life choices.
…perhaps that’s where the cocktail got its name from?
