Any fan ofSex and the Cityknows Carrie Bradshaw’s signature drink is a cosmo, but in real life, it was an acquired taste forSarah Jessica Parker.
“To be honest, I really do love a cosmopolitan. I don’t know how to make them well, but I genuinely love them,” Parker, 55, toldNew Yorkmagazine’s Grub Streetfor their Grub Street Diet column.
“Strangely enough,” though, her love for the pink cocktail “didn’t happen until long after I stopped shooting the show and the movies,” she added.
“I would be served them at restaurants, or people sent them over, and I was always very grateful,” Parker recalled. “But I didn’treally drink the cocktailuntil after we finished the show. I went to some place and had an exquisite one and then it started.”

Parker also dished on her “weird eating habits” in the Grub Street piece, admitting shedoesn’t “usually eat breakfastunless I’m shooting.”
“And when I’m shooting, I have a full, massive, crazy breakfast,” she said. “When I’m home and going to work on my own, I’ll get up really early and just have coffee.”
Dinnertime is another story. “In our house, we’re constantly paying attention to the level of enjoyment at the table,” Parker shared. “[Husband]Matthew [Broderick]will be like, ‘Oh, the chops aren’t moving — the chops aren’t moving fast enough.’ Everyone is like, ‘Welikethem. Hold on.’ "
“I don’t want to suggest our entire conversation at dinner is grading the meal, but we definitely are consciously enjoying it,” she said.

Despite her actor husband’s haste over their family finishing their food, Parker gives Broderick, 58, mad props for his culinary skills.
Broderick is also the type of chef not to throw anything out that might be of use in the kitchen later. As Parker explained, “We save everything here. Matthew saves every Parmesan rind. If we have shrimp, we always try to make a stock with the shells, because it’s so good and smells incredible.”
