Tonight’s the night! Leave the babysitting to your husband, call a limo and grab your best girlfriends - Sex and the City (the movie, for those living in a time warp) has arrived! Celebrate the evening like the SATC ladies would, with a cocktail! Mix up the Sex and the City Crush, which features a medley of all things sexy: delicious, fresh flavors; beautiful colors; and a splash of sparkle and you’ll be ready for a fabulous evening on the town (or in the theater at least).

Cheers ladies!

Sex and the City Crush

2 ounces Van Gogh Acai-Blueberry Vodka
1/4 cup Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and black berries)
1/2 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 ounce Simple Syrup (or 1 teaspoon sugar)
1/2 fill with Cranberry Juice
1/2 fill with Club Soda

In a pint glass, muddle berries (mash berries until slightly bruised to release juices), lemon juice and simple syrup. Add ice, vodka and cranberry juice. Cover and shake vigorously for ten seconds. Add club soda and stir. Strain into martini glass or serve in pint glass with muddled fruit. Garnish with skewered berries and a lemon twist and enjoy!

While Memorial Day weekend serves as the official kick-off for summer, don’t forget to recognize the true meaning of the holiday by taking a moment to salute America’s active military members and veterans. We’ll be raising our glasses in honor of their dedication and sacrifice today.

On Monday the Van Gogh Vodka team paid Ocean City, Maryland a quick visit to kick off the summer season and thank the city for supporting the brand. OC’s top bartenders, wait staff and bar/restaurant owners joined Van Gogh and Red Bull at Seacrets to taste a few of the new cocktails visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy while vacationing.

May 30 might be a few days away, but the Sex and the City movie celebrations can begin this weekend. Grab your girlfriends, slide on your Manolo Blahniks, pour your favorite “sexy” cocktails and pop in a DVD of your favorite HBO episode(s). Drinks inspired by the women, the relationships and the fashion of this iconic story provide the perfect style as you catch up on the lives of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte in anticipation of the season’s most-talked about film.

Capture the romantic wit of Carrie with “Bradshaw’s Bridal Party” and honor of the classic Cosmo made famous by the Sex and the City phenomenon. This fruit-infused version gives a nod to Carrie and her “impending” nuptials with Big.
