Sarah Jessica Parker reveals little-known secret about Sex and the City

Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed a hidden, behind-the-scenes secret about Sex and the City - and it's one that will totally shock fans.
Parker, who played the iconic character Carrie Bradshaw on the 1998 hit show, was known for drinking pink-hued Cosmopolitans - a cocktail made with vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, and lime juice.
However, it turns out that the Cosmos we always saw the ladies drinking weren't exactly what they seemed.
'It wasn't until the show ended that I had a proper Cosmopolitan,' Parker, 60, admitted during a June 2 appearance on Andy Cohen 's SiriusXM radio show, Radio Andy.
'Because I think the ones on the show that every amazing prop person may ever worked with and alongside, did cranberry juice and a twist...' she continued.
Cynthia Nixon, who played lawyer Miranda Hobbes on the series, admitted to Cohen that the drinks just tasted like watered down cranberry juice.
While the show was airing, Parker recalled that many people would send her Cosmopolitans, but she wasn't a big fan, although she was 'grateful.'
They just simply weren't very delicious at some of the restaurants she tried back in the day.
'And so, and then when people very kindly sent me a Cosmopolitan in that particular chapter, there wasn't a lot of finesse around them,' Parker shared.
'So I was under the impression that a Cosmopolitan wasn't worth anyone's time.'
Now, however, she touts a different story after she tried a Cosmo at New York City hotspot Morandi.
Interestingly enough, during a 2019 interview with Interview Magazine, the star shared that she's not a big drinker in general.
In fact, Cohen, her longtime friend, called her a 'one sip a night' kind of gal.
'Yes, as told by Andy Cohen, for many years, I just didn't drink as much as anybody else. I think I've been drinking wine for about 10 or 12 years, actually,' the mom-of-three told the outlet at the time.
'I started drinking wine because I travel so much and I always wanted to have local experiences everywhere I went and wherever I go,' she explained.
Parker admitted that she liked to drink wine at the end of the day, or when she's dining with her friends.
She also shared that she wasn't great at making cocktails - especially the Cosmopolitan.
'I don't make drinks at home, I don't know how to make cocktails. So, that's why wine is my friend! All it takes for me is a corkscrew or just a twist of the wrist,' Parker said.
Her Cosmo confession comes as the season three premiere of the Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That, premiered to HBO Max on May 29.
The spinoff, which stars Parker as Bradshaw, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York, and Nixon as Hobbes, shows the ladies years later, living their life as adults in New York City.
In recent years, the three ladies have worked together on various Sex and The City related projects.
The group filmed two spinoff movies - one in 2008 and one in 2010 - but the third one never got off the ground.
However, there have been rumors that actress Kim Cattrall was feuding with the cast.
She famously did not sign on to revive her character as Samantha on And Just Like That... during the first season, but made a cameo at the end of the season two finale.
