Forget that “cheap red wine with an old orange thrown in” drink that is unpleasant and sickly – here is the recipe for the best Sangria I have ever tasted…..

Chill a jug.

Pour equal measures of:

Licor 43

Cointreau

Martini / Vermouth

A dash of whisky peach

A can of orange/lemon fanta.

This – with the ice – should ¾ fill your jug. Top up the rest with two spoons of sugar and red wine.

Fruit – only if you have time for it to ferment for at least half a day and give extra flavour – oranges and apples.

Take out onto a sunny terrace, stir with a long wooden spoon, pour and admire the view.

Cheers to that!

Cheers to that!
