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 ‘Ruby’ cocktail was referenced in season 4, episode 12 of the show titled ‘Just Say Yes’, as Carrie and Samantha sit in the New York bar and discuss her engagement to Aidan.
Interestingly, the show’s version of the drink was created by the Florida Citrus Commission in order to boost sales of the Florida grapefruit. It was to act as somewhat of a replacement or alternative to their longstanding favourite, the Cosmopolitan.

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.
