Sex on the Beach Cocktail Showdown! Which is Best? | How to Drink

One maniac fan requested this drink in comments on every single one of my videos. Today I deliver, and make Sex on The Beach two ways and declare a WINNER!

**********************************

Ben Bentley, whoever he or she may be, has been leaving comments on every. single. one. of my videos requesting this drink for... well forever now. So here it is, the Sex on The Beach. I've never had one, I didn't know what was in it, I had no interest in it. It doesn't matter. We're doing this. In my research I found that there are two distinct versions of this drink, one according to the IBA (international bartenders association) and one according to Mr. Boston (a long standing and well known bartender's guide). Since the two versions are so wildly different from each-other, I just made both and tried to pick a winner.
It's worth noting that there is an origin story that pegs this drink to a Florida panhandle bar called Confetti's (which I'm fairly certain is no more) and a young bartender named Teddy. I doubt it's veracity.
