The sun is (hopefully) shining, you’ve laid out an impressive spread… now it’s time for some drinks.

“Prosecco is a key ingredient to craft the perfect spritz, which are ideal for sipping throughout long summer evenings with friends” says Pritesh Mody, founder of World Of Zing and Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch cocktail expert.

“A spritz with a fruity touch creates a stunning summer cocktail, guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser among family and friends. Spritz cocktails are a fun way to get creative with your bartender skills, without creating too many complexities in the kitchen.”

As for the spritz that’s going to be on everyone’s lips this summer, it’s all about the Chambord Berry Spritz, whose fruity and refreshing flavours are bound to quench the thirst of (and seriously impress) any friends you entertain this summer.

To make it, simply pack a glass with plenty of ice and three parts sparkling wine.

Next, add two parts Chambord and one part soda water and watch the exuberant pink and purple colours come to life. Finally, garnish with fresh mint leaves and lots of berries.

For a non-alcoholic alternative, try subbing the alcohol for raspberry syrup, and remember to keep jugs of water at hand to stay hydrated in the summer heat.
