I was never a fan of the TV show Sex and the City. I know I'm not the demographic anyway, but I thought I'd at least like the show because it had attractive women and it was set in NYC and it was somewhat about writing. But I watched a couple of episodes and just couldn't get into it. Which means I won't be seeing the big screen movie when it opens on May 30.
But that doesn't mean I can't drink the cocktails inspired by the movie. After the jump are recipes for five drinks, all named after characters on the show/in the movie.
