Thanks to Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte - not only will you need to keep a stash of sherry close by as usual - but now you will be expected to lay on some fantastic looking cocktails! But it's actually not as hard as it looks! With some key basic ingredients, you can be prepared for even the most demanding guest who lays out a perfectly manicured hand to sip the cosmo you've just made for her!
