SEX and the City (SATC) is on the big screen and that means one thing: Female fans are hitting the bars to recreate the camaraderie.
So in tribute to the wonderful women of SATC, The New Paper went on an hunt around Singapore to find Singaporean women's favourite drink.
Top on the list is the lychee martini.
 And why not?
Lychees are soft and sweet, and a lychee martini isn't highly alcoholic.
The best place to get your lychee martini fix is at the award-winning martinibar at Mezza9, located in The Grand Hyatt Singapore.
Miss Carolyn Choo, 19, says: 'It's probably because lychees are associated with desserts, and are soft and sweet like the image of a woman.
SPECIAL KICK
'It is also easy to drink, being low in alcoholic content but still giving you that special kick when you sip it.'
Just for June, the bar is offering special martinis priced at $10, using Belvedere vodka.
Another favourite with the women is the Cosmopolitan. This is a lovely mixture of vodka, lime cordial and cranberry juice.
It is also the signature drink for the SATC foursome.
In Singapore, get yours from Brix, also located at The Grand Hyatt, for $10.
Ms Hazel Sim, 26, loves the Cosmopolitan.
She says: 'It doesn't have a strong alcoholic taste, and is more like light vodka.
'The citrus, fruity flavour of the drink is also very refreshing.'
At Bar None (Singapore Marriott Hotel), the popular drink is the Long Island Iced Tea.
Equal parts gin, rum, vodka and tequila, this can throw a mighty punch, so consume with caution.
Miss Cheryl Tay, 21, says: 'The first mouthful will go straight to your head - but it is the potency that I appreciate.
'I like drinks with the distinct taste of alcohol, and it is a combination of my favourite types of liquors.'
The drink is priced at $19.
At Long Bar at Raffles Hotel, you can find your inner Charlotte York, conservative and traditional, but yet idealistic about love and romance.
The Singapore Sling comprises gin, cherry brandy, cointreau (orange-flavoured liqueur) and pineapple juice.
Originality counts for a lot, especially when you're talking fashion and drinks.
And there is no better way than to take a sip of the Sling, created in 1915 especially for women.
It is priced at $24.70.
