Sex and the City 2: A Posh Affair
Right now my excitement level can not get any higher! I am so sure you know why I am so excited. The movie Sex and the City 2 will make its debut on the big screen on May 27th and I can’t wait! To pay homage to one of my favorite group of ladies and former hometown, I propose planning a fabulous Sex and the City cocktail party before heading off to the theaters to catch up with our NYC girls – Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. So pull out your favorite pair of Manolo Blahnik’s, your most fabulous chic cocktail dress and let’s get this party started!
Setting the Scene: Pull out the DVD of the 1st SATC movie and have it playing in the background during the party. Create some chic and stylish centerpieces by filling large martini glasses with silver mirrored balls surrounded by black and hot pink feather boas. Add in some animal prints, you can get some cute zebra print plates and napkins to bring it all together! Remember it’s has to be all about the glam of NYC and nothing else.
What to Pour: There is no way you can have a SATC party and not serve up delish Cosmopolitans . So fix up a batch of Cosmos and mouthwatering Flirtini’s. Also prepare a pitcher of non-alcoholic cocktails and coffee. If you’re headed out to the movie after your cocktail party make sure you have designated drivers that I have not been drinking. Keep it safe!
What’s on the Menu: Keep the menu simple and light with bite size scrumptious delights.
Olives and Cheese Platter
And to satisfy the sweet tooth:
Enjoy your party and be sure to tell us all about!

It’s Cinco de Mayo, Cheers!
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Here’s a delicious and refreshing cocktail to toast the day to, a Prickly Pear Margarita. All you need are some chips, guacamole, margarita glasses, salt and some good friends to start the party! Here’s the recipe
Makes: 7 cups; 8 servings
Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds green or red prickly pear fruit
1 cup lime juice
1 cup tequila
3/4 cup orange-flavor liqueur
2 tablespoons sugar
4 cups crushed ice
Thin lime slices (optional)
Preparation
1. Cut ends from prickly pears. Cut a 1/8-inch-deep lengthwise slit through peel on each fruit. Pull back peel and remove from pulp; discard peel. Cut fruit pulp into 1/2-inch chunks.
2. In a blender, combine half of all these ingredients: prickly pear chunks, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and sugar; whirl until smooth. Add half the ice and whirl until blended. Pour into glasses slowly, leaving seeds behind. Discard seeds.
3. Repeat step 2 with remaining pear chunks, lime juice, tequila, liqueur, sugar, and ice.
4. Garnish with lime slices.
Cheers!
