Favourite 80's cocktails
Manly Wine - 16th Jul, 2012
Here at Manly Wine we love the outrageous fashion and fun, so come and join us this Friday as We Bring Back all Things 80’s, starting with those infamous blue cocktails with little cocktail umbrellas in them. Here are two 80’s classic cocktails that we’ll be serving up!
Sex on the Beach
Was probably created in Florida in the late 80’s. When asked what his popular cocktail was called, the bartender thought of the two main reasons people visited his town, to visit the beach and have sex. The ‘Sex on the Beach’ was created!
Vodka, peach schnapps, orange and cranberry. Served tall.

Blue Lagoon
Actually created in the 70’s but people went nuts for it in the 80’s when the movie of the same name came out. Like the movie, this is as tacky as it gets and as immature as Brooke Shields when she gets shipwrecked in the ‘Blue Lagoon’.
Vodka, blue curacao (blue coloured orange liqueur), lemon and lemonade. Served tall.
