The Story
The Flirtini is a turn-of-the-millennium creation that hit full fame when Sex and the City put it in Carrie Bradshaw's hand. Part cosmopolitan-era vodka drink, part champagne cocktail, it married pineapple's easy sweetness to bubbles for something unapologetically fun. It's a period piece from the age of the cocktail's glossy comeback — and still a reliable party pour.
