EAT, DRINK AND BE CARRIE

There was always something as near and dear to the girls of "Sex and the City" as their boyfriends and their designer shoes. In fact, more so. While handbags went out as soon as the new collections came in, there was one thing the girls never lost sight of: cocktails. True blue (or pink) friends through thick and thin, a smart cocktail or flute of bubbles never abandoned the Fab Four; never left them high and dry.

Here are some RECIPES that will help you make a cocktail "Sex and the City" style!

9 WEIRD USES FOR VODKA

Vodka has been enjoyed since at least the early Middle Ages, and is well known as one of the world's most popular spirits. Its versatility in mixing and high alcohol content have made it extremely popular in cocktails, and it is still widely enjoyed 'neat' (straight up) in much of Eastern and Northern Europe.

Vodka also has a long history of use as medicine, having been sold by druggists to cure everything from infertility to colic and the plague. While some of those historic promoters were half-cocked, it's true that vodka has a wide range of potential uses beyond serving as a relaxer and social lubricant.

Why would you want to do anything else with vodka but drink it? It is widely available, effective and less toxic than many of the chemical alternatives you might use for THESE TASKS.
