There's only one thing the ladies from Sex and the City love more than a good pair of shoes and a good, well, you know. Which is why, in celebration of their big screen debut Friday, Skyy Vodka has created a signature martini for each of the Big Apple gals. So make it your homework to figure out exactly who tickles your palette personality the right way: Is it the tangy Carrie, bitter Miranda, sweet Charlotte or naughty Samantha that lights up your happy hour? Take your time: it's a "Big" decision.

CARRIE

Put 2 ounces Skyy vodka, 1 ounce X-rated Fusion Liqueur, 2 ounces cranberry juice and ¾ ounces sparkling apple cider into a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously, strain into a chilled martini glass, top with cider and garnish with a thin apple slice.

MIRANDA

Put 2 ounces Skyy vodka, ¾ ounce Campari, 2 ounces pomegranate juice and 1 ounce Triple Sec into a martini shaker filled with ice. Squeeze a lemon wedge into the mix and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lemon wheel.

CHARLOTTE

Combine 2 ounces Skyy Vodka, 2 ounces pink lemonade, 1 ounce Triple Sec and ½ ounce Midori Melon liqueur in a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into martini glass and garnish with an edible flower.
