We may not be able to hog the 2p machines at Penny Lane on Fletcher Gate right now, but luckily you can mix up your own pitcher of their Sangria at home. It’s perfect for afternoon drinking in the sunshine, and – if you close your eyes really hard – you can try and imagine being on a Spanish beach instead of being in your back garden…
Ingredients
15ml strawberry liquor (they recommend Lejay Lagoute Fraise)
10ml sugar syrup
15ml cherry brandy (they recommend Giffard)
80ml red wine
Method
- Put all the ingredients into a shaker with ice and – you guessed it – shake.
- Pour everything into a mini jug filled with more ice and orange wedges.
- Top with sprigs of mint and party accessories (after all, is it a summery drink if it hasn't got jazzy umbrellas?).
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
