Unsolicited Sex Tips and Cucumber Gin and Tonics

Apropos of nothing, Sophia Vergara is dishing out unsolicited relationship advice down the side of my email.

“Mess up your hair just a little,” she suggests, “it’s sexier that way.”

As it turns out, Cover Girl is behind this stream of top tips, hoping that we’ll all seal the deal sexiness-wise by bunch of lipsticks.

“Wear heels,” commands Sophia a touch judgmentally, “flats are for the unflirtatious.”

Personally, I’d suggest a round of cucumber gin and tonics. But then I’d probably sell less make up.

Cucumber gin and tonics (per glass)

• Muddle one lime wedge and the cucumber in a shaker.
• Add the gin and ice and shake.
• Strain into a glass.
• Add a few ice cubes.
• Top up with tonic.
• Run the remaining lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then drop into the drink.
