SIP A SUMMERY GIN SPRITZ COCKTAIL

‘SUPERMARKET cheats are where you win,’ says Johnny Roxburgh. ‘I’m a big Aldi fan, as it has very good gin and champagne. We hosted our wedding anniversary party for 700 people in 2019 and all the gin and vodka came from Aldi. Once it’s gone into a cocktail, no one knows.

‘For really good glasses, I’d suggest Jones Hire (joneshire.co.uk). The Baroque Platinum glasses are made of fine crystal with a wide platinum pattern rim and cost £1.35 each, without VAT, to hire. The firm will collect them dirty, so no one gets stuck with the washing-up.

‘If you prefer to buy, I’d recommend Caspari (uk. casparionline.com) for the best-looking disposable options from £3.50.

‘If you’d like your wine to double as table decorations, try The Uncommon Wine of

England,’ says Alexandra Dudley. ‘Its range comes in beautiful cans (pictured). It will stay cold for much longer than wine in bottles.

‘We will be serving a summer spritzer,’ says Charlotte Boston. ‘For a 1l jug, mix 150ml gin, 75ml elderflower cordial and 500ml tonic with 200ml of pink fizz, then pour over ice.’
