Yes, they slurped cosmos by the gallon on Sex & the City, launching this pretty-in-pink drink into the super-trend stratosphere. But those ladies had the right idea: this delicious cocktail lives up to the hype.

To complete this How-To you will need:

2 oz. vodka
1 oz. orange liqueur
A cutting board
A splash of cranberry juice
Some ice
A lime
A small knife
A martini glass
And a cocktail shaker

Step 1: Chill glass

Chill the martini glass by filling it with ice and water, and set it aside.

Step 2: Fill with ice

Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.

Step 3: Slice lime

Slice the lime in half, and then into quarters. Squeeze two quarters over the cocktail shaker and set the other two aside.

Step 4: Add vodka, liqueur & juice

Add the vodka, liqueur, and cranberry juice.

Tip: Use citrus-flavored vodka for added zing.

Step 5: Shake

Vigorously shake the ingredients 15 to 20 times.

Tip: Stop shaking when the shaker feels ice cold. Over-mixing will dilute the liquor with too much water.

Step 6: Empty glass

Empty the now-chilled martini glass.

Step 7: Strain into glass

Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the martini glass.

Step 8: Garnish & serve

Cut a wedge from a remaining lime quarter, garnish, and serve.

Who cares about that. You're not drinking what she's making, lol. Get the recipe from here, go home and replace it with whatever brands YOU prefer. The point of the vids is to learn the recipe and then use your own discretion ;)
