A new survey can determine if you have a great sex life, are more likely to go for a hike or enjoy a horror movie — all by knowing your go-to beach cocktail.

OnePoll and CheapCaribbean teamed up to survey 2,000 adults who drink alcohol to find out what their favorite beach cocktail said about them.

The three most mentioned drinks were beer (17%), margaritas (16%), and wine (16%).

If your drink of choice is a minty mojito (72%) or tart margarita (63%) on the beach, you are most likely to have the best sex life, the research found.

Additionally, mojito drinkers have the most success when it comes to dating (88%) and are happiest with their lives (85%).

About a third of ice-cold beer drinkers were deemed the extroverted of the bunch (33%). But Bloody Mary drinkers can also hang, as the research found them to be the most adventurous (80%) and are likeliest to say “yes” to everything (73%).

Margarita fans are more introverted (50%), and respondents who prefer sangria are the most likely to have at least five friends.

Wine drinkers may be the best person to let handle the AUX cord as their diverse music preferences include hip hop (37%) and jazz (30%), while beer drinkers like to jam out to rock (41%) and pop music (34%).

Interestingly, respondents who like a fruity Sex on the Beach are also the most likely to suggest watching a horror movie (41%), compared to sangria drinkers who live for intense drama flicks (41%).

Respondents sipping a Sex on the Beach are most likely to suggest watching a horror movie (41%) and prefer to go on a hike whereas daiquiri drinkers enjoy scouring the beach for seashells (64%).

Those who favor a Bloody Mary are the most likely to get in the water.
