Over the years, the glitzy TV series, 'Sex and the City', has become a true nineties classic.
Decades on from since it first aired, millions of people still tune in to keep up with Carrie Bradshaw's antics as a glamorous fashion editor, living her best bacherlorette lifestyle in the Big Apple.
A typical accessory of her's was of course, a Cosmopolitan cocktail. Subsequently, it's become a go-to cocktail for city girls all over the world. Who needs New York bar prices when you can easily shake it up at home though? Here's the recipe:
Ingredients (for 2 people):
- 1 1/2 oz. vodka

- 1 tsp lime zest
Instructions:
- Put all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker.

- Pour the mixture into a glass and add the ice. Garnish with lime zest.
- The preparation could not be simpler. Simply put the ingredients in a shaker (can be in batches to serve each glass), and shake vigorously for 1 minute.
Pour the mixture (without the ice) into a glass. You can also garnish with a little lime zest.
