Sex on the Peak: The Summit Celebration Cocktail

We took Sex on the Beach, gave it a shot of bourbon, and sent it up a mountain. This riff is fantastic cocktail recipe for celebrating the summit.

We know what you’re thinking. But let’s get our minds out of the gutter and into the mountains, shall we? We’re talking about a cocktail, of course—a rugged twist on the classic "Sex on the Beach," specially crafted for that moment at the climax of an adventure. (The summit, people. The summit.)

This recipe comes from our friend and backcountry bartender, Andy Austin, who created it atop the aptly named Sex Peak in Montana (yes, it's a very real place with a rentable cabin at the summit 😉). It’s a drink designed to elevate the moment, turning a spectacular view into an unforgettable memory. Like its beach-bound cousin, this cocktail features orange juice, cranberry, and peach schnapps, but a healthy pour of bourbon gives it a bold, mountain-ready character.

While Andy cheekily calls it a "breakfast cocktail," we think it's best enjoyed at sunset, when the peaks are soaking up the last licks of golden light and you’re celebrating a day well spent.

Crafting the Sex on the Peak

This recipe is scaled for the Firelight Flask® 375, which is perfect for sharing with a friend. If you’re thirsty or celebrating with a larger crew, simply double the recipe for the Firelight Flask® 750.

Ingredients:

• 3.75 oz Bourbon
• 1.5 oz Peach Schnapps
• 3 oz Orange Juice
• 3 oz Cranberry Juice

Gear:

• High Camp Firelight Flask® 375 or 750
• Pitcher or shaker for mixing

Instructions:

1. Combine and Chill: For the absolute best flavor, combine all ingredients in a pitcher and stir well. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before your adventure. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures your cocktail is perfectly cold from the first pour.
2. Fill Your Flask: Pour the chilled mixture into your Firelight Flask®. Our wide-mouth opening means you can do this easily without a funnel, preventing any spills of your precious cargo.
3. Seal and Go: Secure the leak-proof cap.Thanks to the flask's vacuum insulation, your cocktail will stay chilled for up to 24 hours, no cooler or ice required.
4. Serve at the Summit: When you’ve reached your destination, simply detach the patented magnetic tumblers. Pour, sip, and soak in the scenery. The double-wall insulated tumblers will even keep your drink from sweating in your hand.

Pro-Tips for Peak Performance

• Freeze Your Juice: For an extra-frosty cocktail on a hot day, use partially frozen orange and cranberry juice when mixing.
• Garnish on the Go: Pack a small, sealed bag with a few orange twists. The oils will add a fragrant, professional touch when you serve.
• Trust the Steel: Don't worry about any metallic taste. Our flasks are made with premium, electropolished stainless steel that preserves the pure flavor of your drink, just as you intended it.

The result is a sophisticated, adventurous twist on a classic—the perfect companion for reaching your peak.
