We named this cocktail Sax on the Beach because the taste is a little reminiscent of a Sex on the Beach, but a little brighter and less sweet. It’s a tasty mild citrus number that’s dead simple to make. It uses equal parts Cascal Bright Citrus soda and the orange liqueur of your choice (we love Citronge). The trick with ... Read More »
