Gran Stead’s Royal Wedding Cocktail

75 cl (750 ml) bottle of Gran Stead’s Still Lemonade with a Zing of Ginger
300ml unsweetened orange juice
200ml gin (or you could use vodka)
Half a tray of ice cubes
2 unwaxed oranges, washed
2 unwaxed lemons, washed

1. Slice the oranges and lemons
2. Put ice cubes into a large jug
3. Add half the sliced fruit (retaining the rest for serving)
4. Add all the other drink ingredients
5. Stir to mix
6. Serve in glasses decorated with orange and lemon slices


Top tip
For added pizzazz, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to each glass just before serving

Lose the alcohol – but keep the kick!
This recipe works just as well without the gin, as the zing of the ginger ensures it is still a lively little number.
