Sex in the Driveway is a cocktail recipe that results in a beautiful blue cocktail. Perfect for sipping by the pool or serving at your barbecues, the only thing controversial about this drink is its name.
For this recipe you’ll need: peach schnapps, blue curaçao, vodka, Sprite, crushed ice, and the garnish of your choice. Don’t have all of these ingredients? Try my twist on the classic gin and tonic

You know how I write these long, rambling posts? Well not this time. I spent the entire morning making and photographing Thanksgiving food for a client. Yes, in May. It took more time than I thought it would so now I am writing this “after business hours” and it’s cutting in to my hot tub time. So, I hope y’all will forgive me for not being chatty.

Sex in the Driveway cocktail is a gorgeous color blue. I am pretty sure anyone having sex in the driveway in the summer in Texas would not be blue – I imagine they would be kind of a bright red and their bare skin would sizzle on the pavement. Not a very romantic interlude, you know? Anyway, I have no clue why this is called Sex in the Driveway but there you have it. I don’t really understand why the kids’ show Caillou is still on the air, either. There are just some things that can’t be explained.
This doesn’t need to be blended or shaken so it’s great when you need a pitcher of drinks. It’s a fruity drink and sophisticated cocktail drinkers are likely to scoff at it’s simplicity and one flavor note… sweet. Still, I think it is perfect for summer parties because it’s so easy and everyone (except the sophisticates) loves it. Peach and orange flavors combine with fizzy Sprite to give flavor to the rather robust amount of vodka in this cocktail. It’s easy to drink but one of those that can really sneak upon you.

I need to make this into a 3 gallon drink bowl what would the conversion be?
Marye Audet says
you can change it to up to 20 servings by clicking on the serving size and then moving the cursor up to as many servings as you need (up to 20) other than that I’d guess you’d have to do the math.
Jennie says
Do you have the quantities for making this in a larger batch such as a pitcher? Thanks

You just need to click on the number of servings in the recipe and it will let you adjust to however many servings you want. 🙂

I don’t get Caillou either. I believe I have had this drink before, but it was called a different name, but the name is, let’s say rated R. It is a beautiful STRONG drink.
Marye Audet says
yes it is. You have to be careful with this one!!
