Perfect Picnic Mocktails.

British sun got you gasping? 

We know the UK's not renowned for its balmy climate, but a long day sat in the sunshine on a picnic will eventually leave you parched. And you can't enjoy our delicious pizza without a drink so we've come up with some delightful thirst-quenching mocktails you can make at home and take with you to your pizza picnic.

Picnic mocktails. Pick-tails, if you will.

Mocktail Moscow Mule

A super-simple cocktail with an alcohol-free kick. To be really authentic, get your hands on some copper mugs (you can buy them here, here, or here) They last forever and they make excellent picnicwear as they are lightweight, un-squashable, and very easy to clean. OR just grab yourself some plastic tumblers, it'll taste just as good. 

Ingredients

ice 

3tbsp lime juice (about 3 small limes' worth)

3tbsp soda water

120ml ginger beer

lime wedges, to serve

Method

1) Fill your copper mug (or plastic tumbler) with ice.

2) Squeeze your limes and add the juice to your cup of choice.

3) Add the same amount of soda or fizzy water.

4) Top up with ginger beer (about 120ml per person)

That's for one glass - to do this on a large scale, just multiply by the number of people at your picnic! It can even be done in advance and transported in a Thermos, or some other such elegant receptacle.

Virgin Sunrise

This one is even easier than the last! But don't underestimate the deliciousness of this simple cocktail - the grenadine (pomegranate syrup) adds a flavour so festive, you might even forget there's no alcohol in it...

Ingredients

120ml orange juice

1tsp grenadine

lemon wedge, to serve

Method

1) Pour juice into glass.

2) Add grenadine, slowly.

3) Prop lemon wedge on side of glass.

4) ....that's it!

Get your hands on some plastic wine glasses and away you go! Whip this up in no time, perched on your picnic blanket, or make it at home (but prepare for the sunrise to be more of a charming all-round salmon pink by the time you arrive...) 

And there you have it - the perfect picktail to have with your pizza. And remember - all through this month all of our pizzas are just £7.99 to takeaway! And never fear alcohol-lovers, we've got a boozy treat lined up for you next week, so stay tuned!
