Sex and the City drinks

Sex and the City is credited with launching the Cosmopolitan craze, so its not surprising that the new Sex and the City movie, which releases in local theaters tomorrow, has its own official vodka sponsor, and cocktails named after each of the main characters.

I decided I was most like Carrie, based on the fact that hers was the only drink for which I had the ingredients on hand, and mixed up one of her cocktials (ahh, the joys of working at home) so I could incorporate a little journalism in what is otherwise, admittedly, pure promotional fluff. The Carrie was good--basically a regular Cosmo with mango juice subbing for cranberry--but just because I’m posting the recipe, doesn’t mean I’m endorsing smuggling a round into the movie theater.
