Try this fruity, big city twist on the martini.

As with many people around the United States, I was introduced to the Flirtini by the HBO series Sex and the City. After some research I discovered that there are many variations of the Flirtini. After many hourse of taste testing on your behalf (Carrie Bradshaw would be so proud), I present here my favorite.
