Lockdown Cocktails week 6: White Sangria

IMG_0485.jpg

Summer is here and lockdown is easing and it’s time for long fruity drinks to enjoy in the evening sun. White sangria is lighter than its more common red cousin and slips down dangerously easily.

We cut an orange and a lime into quarters and muddled with 30g of sugar (add more if you like your drinks sweet). We threw in a couple of peaches and some frozen grapes, but you can use any fruit you have to hand. Then we added 100ml of Orange & Quince gin and poured over a bottle of Pinot Grigio - delicious.

The Orange & Quince makes a zestily citrus mix which is great after a hot day. We also love mixing our Damson & Elderberry gin with elderflower cordial (instead of the sugar) and mixed berries. In either case you can use any white you like but a fruitier one works better than a dry one.

Salut!

All of our gins are available from https://bashallspirits.co.uk. Delivery is free and we’ll give you £5 if you enter the code LOCKTAILS.
