I couldn't help but wonder... what if we decided to recreate drinks from the screen, to encourage you to rewatch the classics with a drink in hand? And so, just like that, we’re raising a glass to the iconic SEX AND THE CITY, and filling it with the perfect hint of pink...
Sex and the City didn’t just define a generation of fashion, flirting and friendship, it also gave us the most iconic drink in TV history: the Cosmopolitan. Tart, pink, and impossibly chic, the Cosmo became a cultural movement; you simply couldn’t step into a bar in the noughties without spotting one on the menu. A cosmopolitan drink for cosmopolitan women.
We've stirred up the classic version and created a delicious mocktail twist, swapping out the booze for orange juice and soda water, so everyone can sip like a SATC queen, no matter your preferences. Don’t forget to check out the video over on our YouTube, and be sure to subscribe for more tantalising recipes from the screen.
They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but Cosmopolitans never go out of style...
