Aperol Spritz

Orange spritz in a stemmed wine glass with ice and an orange slice

Three parts prosecco, two parts Aperol, one part soda. Low in alcohol, impossible to get wrong, built for the afternoon.

Mojito

Mojito in a tall glass with crushed ice, fresh mint and lime

Rum, lime, mint and soda — built in the glass, and ruined more often by over-muddling than by anything else.

Paloma

Pink grapefruit Paloma in a tall glass with ice and a lime garnish

Mexico’s actual favourite tequila drink. Grapefruit, lime, salt — lighter and more drinkable than a margarita.
