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.
The appearance of the ‘dirty martini’ on Sex and the City is perhaps most remembered for being the drink that Samantha Jones throws in the face of her cheating lover, Richard Wright, during season 5.
A classic drink for lovers of salty flavours. Adding olive brine to the ingredients of a classic gin or vodka martini is what makes the drink ‘dirty’. This is due to its change in appearance from clear to cloudy.

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.
