A few good options for Sex In The Woods are:
- Grey Goose
- Belvedere
- Khor
- Smirnoff
Vodka
- The Spirit: 1.5 oz of vodka provides a neutral alcoholic base that allows the other flavors to shine. Not too much, lest we risk overpowering the subtler peach and citrus notes; not too little, or we'd lose the 'kick' that makes it a proper cocktail.

Peach Schnapps
- The Sweet Kiss: 1 oz of peach schnapps adds a fruity sweetness and depth of flavor. More and we tip into overly sweet territory; less and we lose the signature peachy profile.
Mary Mitkina
Cranberry Juice
- The Tart: 2 oz of cranberry juice brings balance to the sweetness with its tartness, adding a vibrant color to boot. Too much cranberry, and your pucker could stick; too little, and the sweetness might get cloying.
Emma Rose
Orange Juice
- The Sunny Side: 2 oz to match the cranberry juice for a well-balanced citrus sweetness and smoothness. Alter the ratio and watch as the scales tip between tart and sweet in your woodland rendezvous.
Alex Green
Ice Cubes
- The Cool Factor: They chill the drink, mellowing the flavors and enhancing the crispness. No ice means a less refreshing and more potent drink; too much ice waters down your flirtatious adventure.
Mary Mitkina
Orange Slice
- The Garnish: Adds a hint of freshness and an inviting look. A cocktail without a garnish is like a forest without birds—still nice, but missing some magic.
Emma Rose
Grenadine
- The Sweet Finish: Just a splash at 0.5 oz to add a hint of sweetness and create a beautiful layered effect. Too much can overpower the drink with sweetness, too little and you'll miss the sunset hue in your glass.
