What was Carrie's go-to drink in "Sex and the City"?

Last updated: March 24, 2025

"Sex and the City" defined cocktail culture for a generation of TV viewers in the late '90s. While the show sparked countless trends, from Manolo Blahniks to cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery, nothing became more synonymous with the series than Carrie Bradshaw's signature cocktail. What drink did Carrie and her friends constantly order on their nights out in Manhattan?

The Cosmopolitan appeared to be Carrie Bradshaw's signature drink on "Sex and the City," though Sarah Jessica Parker later revealed she was actually drinking cranberry juice with water during filming. In a twist worthy of being the drink's garnish, SJP wasn't even a fan of cosmos while filming, but America's favorite pink drink eventually won her over. She launched her own version in 2022, going from longtime cosmo faker to cocktail maker.
