I'll Have What She's Having
2 more days!!! *for our theater at least!*I'm so giddy and it's SO worth it! My friend Merrie and I are co-hosting a little gathering of some friends and Sex fans Friday night before clicking our Manolos (read: Target-brand heels) over to the theater.
To begin our party, we'll serve cocktails like those of the Cosmo-liking, plus a few new recipes I found at THIS site.

How exciting!! I can't wait to see it!!
Sounds like you have a fun little party planned.
Hey just saw this drink recipe on People.com. Apparently it's the drink the girls were drinking at the after party last night - appropriately dubbed...
"The Bradshaw"
2 oz. Don Julio Blanco Tequila
1/2 oz. X Rated Passion Fruit Liquor
3/4 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
3/4 oz. Cane Sugar Simple Syrup
Shaken, serve straight up in a martini glass rimmed in hot pink sugar, garnished with a lime wedge.

Have a blast!!! Can't wait for the review!! :)
May 28, 2008 at 12:14 PM
yeah, I'll have one of each!
May 28, 2008 at 1:01 PM
Where do you live exactly?? I would like to stop by - lol!
None. I mean zero of my friends have my Sex and the City love and it bums me out. I will be going by myself to see it or dragging my husband kicking and screaming!!
May 28, 2008 at 1:04 PM
I'm *so* ducking for cover as I type this. Are you ready for it? Brace yourself:
I've never seen a single episode of Sex and The City.
Those cocktails are right up my alley though. Especially the Wedding white cosmo.
May 28, 2008 at 1:05 PM
I'm suddenly very thirsty...
May 28, 2008 at 1:15 PM
Not one episode? Darcie, pour yourself a cosmo and rent a few seasons (gets good around season 3 and 4). I'll be patient while you catch up! ;)
May 28, 2008 at 1:49 PM
I loved the series, but seriously, I still can't believe some of the utter CRAP that Carrie wore. Sorry, that had to come out. Now I'll go make me one of those drinks.
May 28, 2008 at 2:37 PM
OMG - I will have to steal your recipes and have me a little to-do before the girls and I hit up the movie theater, too! It's been so long since I've been out on a "girl's night" that I'm practically climbing the walls!
May 28, 2008 at 2:44 PM
Since Darcie outted herself, I will out myself as well. I've never watched it but ladies I have envy! I have Sex in the City or AND the City? Whatever.... bonding envy I tell you!
I want a stinger and I want a stinger now! (Think Pink Pony!)
May 28, 2008 at 4:04 PM
I wish I could be there! I refuse to go see it by myself ... that would just be too sad. But, maybe I'll make myself a drink (or two!) on Friday night after our last baseball game.
May 28, 2008 at 5:32 PM
Never really watched SITC ::ducking the flying tomatoes:: since we didn't have HBO, but I like the sound of the Charlotte Chocolatini!!
YUMMY!!
Enjoy the premiere of the movie Jen! :)
May 28, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Erik and I watched every season. LOVED IT. My friend is catching up now so we can go, although it won't be right on opening weekend.
May 28, 2008 at 5:52 PM
I just LOVE all the SATC buzz in the air this week!! All my favorite blogs are buzzing about it!
Cheers!!
May 28, 2008 at 6:22 PM
I.
Can't.
Wait.
Clicking my Manolos together anxiously as I type. ;)
May 28, 2008 at 6:38 PM
Too much fun! Wish I could join up, but I am way over here in Chicago. Cute ideas!
May 28, 2008 at 7:11 PM

For Friday night! These cocktails will come in awfully handy... HELLO LOVER!
May 28, 2008 at 8:25 PM
Oh good Lord!!! I need another long weekend right now!
I must catch up on my 'recipes'!
May 29, 2008 at 6:31 AM
Darcie, Becky - I'm with you - I've never seen an episode. (cringe). BUT that doesn't mean I won't be sneaking cosmos into the theater with my SATC-obsessed friend.
May 29, 2008 at 7:26 AM
My bestest, most bestest friend in the world would tape Sex in the City for me weekly. (we don't do cable. is that a true friend or what?) Now we're heading to the movie Saturday night. I can not wait!
May 29, 2008 at 7:27 AM
I am so ready-I scored viewing passes for this past Tuesday night. I couldn't make it and it turns out they turned many, many away. I am there at the first viewing on Friday!!!
May 29, 2008 at 7:45 PM
Going tonight! WAY excited. Maybe a little too excited. My girlfriend and I are dressing up, getting purdy, and going to stand in line at 10 (for the 12:01 show).
Note to self: remember the blanket and Starbucks for that waiting line.
Have fun!
Wish I could try one of those drinks, but alas, I'm underage ;)
1 more year baby!
