The Orgasm cocktail emerged in the vibrant bar scene of the 1980s, a golden age for creamy, sweet concoctions. Its playful name and irresistible flavor made it an instant hit at nightclubs and parties. The original version was often served as a shooter, but it quickly evolved into a beloved sipper—sometimes enjoyed on the rocks or as a layered drink. The Orgasm's popularity endures thanks to its versatility, nostalgic appeal, and that unforgettable, cheeky name.
