    Italy: Aperol Spritz

    A real taste of summer, this Italian classic is ultra-refreshing and not too sweet. Pair it with our Chicken Tikka Pizzathe perfect ‘tear and share’ for a night in with friends!

    Aperol Spritz

    Ingredients

    • ice
    • 50ml Aperol
    • 75ml prosecco
    • Soda to top up

    Instructions:

    1. Put a couple of cubes of ice into 2 glasses and add a 50 ml measure of Aperol to each.
    2. Divide the prosecco between the glasses and then top up with soda, if you like.

    America: Mint Julep

    A sip of this bourbon-based cocktail and you’ll be transported straight to Louisville, Kentucky. 

    Team with our Chilli Beef and Cheese on Smoky Sausage and you’ve got yourself a party.

    Ingredients: 

    • 65ml bourbon
    • Mint leaves
    • 12ml sugar syrup
    • Ice, cubes and crushed

    Instructions: 

    1. Shake the bourbon, mint leaves and sugar syrup with ice and strain into a highball glass  filled with crushed ice.
    2. Churn gently with a long-handled spoon and top with more crushed ice.
    3. Garnish and serve.

    India: Aam Panna Mojito 

    Because of its cooling properties, an aam panna is the go-to drink during an intense Indian summer. The drink is traditionally non-alcoholic, so while we’ve included rum in this recipe, you could also make this without booze for a refreshing summer drink. Try pairing with our Beef Keema Tacos for a wonderful fusion of Indian flavours. 

    Ingredients: 

    • 1 mango
    • Cumin powder
    • Black salt
    • Mint leaves
    • 1 lemon
    • 1 tbsp white rum
    • Lemonade or soda

    Instructions: 

    1. Scoop out the inside of the mango. You’ll want to crush it into a pulp. You can do this with a mixer or food processor and blend to a pulp, or simply crush with your hands if you don’t mind getting a little messy!
    2. Add a sprinkle of cumin powder and black salt to this pulp (TIP: you can prepare the mango pulp earlier and pop it in the fridge)
    3. Throw mint leaves and a lemon slice into the glass and squish together with a muddler or the end of a rolling pin also works fine.
    4. Add ice cubes, 2 tbsp of spiced mango pulp, 1 tbsp of white rum and top with lemonade. 
    5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and mango slices.
