NON_ALCOHOLIC_VARIATIONS

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Caribbean Sex on the Beach?

Yes, a non-alcoholic version, often called a 'Virgin Caribbean Sex on the Beach,' can be made by substituting the alcoholic components with coconut water, a splash of non-alcoholic vanilla or rum extract, and using additional fruit juices in place of the vodka and rums.
