Sip on these sexy cocktails this holiday season.
The summer movie hit, Sex and the City, is now on DVD. We love this straight version of The L Word—from Patricia Fields, the lesbian fashionista behind Carrie Bradshaw’s style, to the meaty story line for Cynthia Nixon’s Miranda.
While you’re watching the movie, sip on a vodka cocktail and feel like a Manhattanite (even if you are wearing Manolo knockoffs) with these recipes from Skyy Vodka (featured in Curve’s December Gift Guide) inspired by the Sex and the City ladies.
Take ’em for a spin:
