The Cosmo was the cocktail of choice for Carrie and her sexually liberated posse, but we couldn't help but wonder... what was Miranda drinking when she was pregnant? We bet it was this killer non-alc twist.

Shake and strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with an orange twist. That's BIG.

This naughty little twist on the ultimate crowdpleaser comes courtesy of the lads from our fave Irish boozer, Homeboy in Islington. This next-generation Pornstar is all about equal measures - that's equal parts liquid and playfulness. Shake up a few of these and we promise ya, it's the most fun you'll have with your clothes on this weekend...
You will need...
Put all the liquid into a shaker with a sh*t loada ice and shake hard and fast. This is a twist on a Pornstar, after all. Once that shaker is freezing to the touch, strain it into a coupe glass and serve. PS - you can swap out the vodka for mezcal if you want something a lil smokier.
This wicked tiki drink comes from the twisted minds of the mad scientists at TT Liquor. It's a bit of a break from the tiki norm, with some serious Long Island Iced Tea vibes and a hit of East Asian flavour. This monster has some serious strength to it - def not for the faint-hearted!
You will need...
Add all the ingredients to an ice-filled shaker and give it a beastly shake for 10-15 seconds - it'll be mega cold by this point. Then strain into an ice-filled Highball glass or tiki mug. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
