To celebrate the much-anticipated season 2 of the Sex and the City revival ‘And Just Like That’, The Bottle Club are sharing some of their favourite cocktails made popular by the beloved characters in the popular series.
Very few cocktails are as instantly recognisable as the Cosmo. Undoubtedly the most famous of all the drinks featured across the original series. The Cosmopolitan was reportedly first created in 1975. It became a global phenomenon during the late nineties as Sex and the City grew in popularity, and audiences were keen to start emulating their favourite fictional characters’ bar orders on nights out.
Not overly sweet or too tart, the Cosmopolitan is perfect for impressing guests. It can be taken to the next level with a high-end vodka or by including fresh, rather than bottled, lime juice.

About The Bottle Club
Founded in 2014 by family-run business Millennium Group, we started life as Wine Mill but with an extensive range of both wines and spirits the name just didn’t fit, so we said goodbye to old branding and were re-born as The Bottle Club in 2018. Made up of a team of industry experts and curious drinkers, we’re on a mission to revive the classics, discover new artisan producers and generally satisfy our fascination with drinks – because you never know what you could be missing!
Our range is hand-selected to feature the best of wines and spirits – but that’s up to you to judge. We strive to provide the drinks we think are worth it, from good old favourites to the latest tipples that tickle our fancy. Find out more at The Bottle Club website.
