The 'Sex and the City' Cocktails You Always Need in Your Life
There's more than just the cosmo.

Leading lady Carrie Bradshaw deserves a drink as fierce and fabulous as her fashion sense. These ingredients will race across your palate as effortlessly as Carrie runs in heels. This cocktail is inspired by our favorite quote: "Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with."
The fearless Samantha Jones demands a cocktail just as powerful as she is—and this one is so good we know she'd make it double. She is strong, spicy, feminine, and cool. She turns heads when she walks into the room. Every aspect of this cocktail mimics all of Samantha Jones' spectacular qualities and we'll drink to that.
Oh, the one and only Miranda Hobbes. A woman so smart and sassy calls for a drink with a powerful punch. As homage to her amber locks and her relentless law firm schedule, we have crafted a cocktail to ease any type-A personality…morning, noon, or night!
Charlotte York is the epitome of class--she's perfectly tailored and boasts impeccable manners. This beautiful and modern cocktail fits the true essence of our favorite Upper East Sider.
