Any drink that ends with –ini is A-OK in our book. The Flirtini, as we recall, was made popular by the wonderful characters in a little known show, Sex and the City. I believe the Flirtini was featured as a specialty cocktail, although I can’t remember what episode. Sigh. Guess I’ll have to watch every episode tonight : )
The flirtini is like many other martinis, made with vodka and cranberry juice. The twist to the flirtini recipe is the champagne and sugar that you’ll add – Yum Oh!
Flirtini Ingredients:
