Kim Cattrall, who played the sexy Samantha in the former TV series "Sex And The City", has signed a deal to be the face of Bacardi's new cocktail range Island Breeze.

The English-born actress, 48, will appear in both print and television advertisements for the Caribbean alcohol giant, reports Internet Media Database.

Cattrall enthuses: "I have always enjoyed cocktails socially, but I have been conscious of both the calories and drinking in moderation. That is why I agreed to endorse Island Breeze. It is the first light spirit.

"Now, I can have great tasting, lighter cocktails that are low in calories. Now that's sexy."

Island Breeze contains Bacardi rum, natural fruit flavours and sucralose - a natural-sugar substitute. Cattrall recently starred in advertisements for British tea giant Tetley.
