Courtesy Mary Bartlett, bartender, Honeycut/The Deep End, Los Angeles

Leave it to Honeycut, known for its ­Saturday Night Fever-styled light-up disco floor, to update one of the sauciest drinks of the ’70s: Sex on the Beach. This riff rolled out for the May debut of The Deep End, a lounge within Honeycut that nods to the “new escapism” and futuristic, forward-looking themes. At the bar, the drink is made with clarified juices and house-made Honeycut Citrus Soda. This home-­friendly version uses regular citrus juice: opt for fresh-squeezed, if possible.

Ingredients

1½ ounces Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka
½ ounce Giffard Crème de Pêche de Vigne Liqueur
1¼ ounces organic cranberry juice
1 ounce orange juice
¼ ounce lemon juice
½ ounce brewed hibiscus tea, cooled
Orange slice (for garnish)

Directions

In a cocktail shaker, combine first five ingredients with 1 ice cube. Shake well, and strain into a Collins glass over crushed ice. Invert a spoon over the glass, and gently pour the tea over the backside to “float” atop of the drink. Garnish with an orange slice, and serve with a straw. (Garnish note: Honeycut peels away about ¼ of the orange rind, then perches it on the edge of the glass with the fruit facing away from the glass.)
