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.

Moscow Mule

Moscow Mule in a hammered copper mug with crushed ice, lime and mint

Vodka, lime and ginger beer. A deliberate 1940s marketing invention that turned out to be a genuinely good drink.

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.
