Bottoms Up for Manolo Blahniks 

 If you’ve ever dreamt of owning a pair of Manolo Blahniks, step inside The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver’s 900 West Lounge and you could win fashion’s latest in designer heels. Strut your stuff just like the ladies covet and wear from Sex and the City and add a bit of designer glam to that outfit or two.

In celebration of the new release, Sex and the City 2, Finlandia’s mixologists have created the Ruby Red Slipper — a sexy martini that features the beverage maker’s just released Tangerine flavoured vodka. With a bright citrus flavour spiked with a fresh note of Blood Orange juice, the cocktail is the new version of the popular Cosmopolitan. Kick back your heels at 900 West and sip and savour a Ruby Red Slipper.

For those who aspire to mix their own version of this signature cocktail, here’s the recipe to throw a party of your own and kick it up with style.
