Posted on Thu, May. 29, 2008
Carrie, a signature Sex and the City martini created by Skyy Vodka, is available at DeVito's, 150 Ocean Dr., South Beach and Oriente at the Cardozo Hotel, 1300 Ocean Dr., South Beach.
There's only one thing the ladies from Sex and the City love more than a good pair of shoes and a good, well, you know. Which is why, in celebration of their big screen debut Friday, Skyy Vodka has created a signature martini for each of the Big Apple gals. So make it your homework to figure out exactly who tickles your palette personality the right way: Is it the tangy Carrie, bitter Miranda, sweet Charlotte or naughty Samantha that lights up your happy hour? Take your time: it's a ''Big'' decision.
