Sex In The City is a bright, fruit-forward vodka cocktail that sits firmly in the modern “easy-drinking” family of sours and spritzed-up martinis. Rather than leaning on a long, well-documented backstory, it reads like a playful, pop-culture-era twist on the familiar vodka-and-fruit template: bold colour, approachable sweetness, and a name designed to set the mood before you’ve even taken a sip.
You’ll find vodka gives a clean, neutral base that lets the liqueurs do the talking. Peach schnapps brings soft stone-fruit sweetness, while crème de cassis adds a deeper blackcurrant richness that darkens and rounds the profile. Orange juice lifts everything with bright citrus, and the cranberry juice top-up adds a tart edge that keeps the sweeter elements in check and leaves you with a crisp, berry-citrus finish.
Serve it when you want something fun, flirty, and uncomplicated—ideal for pre-dinner drinks, girls’ night, or any party where you’re after crowd-pleasing flavours. If you like fruity cocktails but don’t want them cloying, the cranberry tang makes this one especially easy to come back to.

Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Vodka lays a clean base for peach schnapps and crème de cassis to pour on ripe stone-fruit and dark-berry sweetness, while orange juice adds pulpy citrus and cranberry juice tops it with a tart, rosy snap. It works because cranberry’s acidity and orange’s brightness keep the liqueurs from turning cloying, making it ideal for anyone who likes juicy, candy-leaning cocktails with minimal bite.
