Not sure about you but I have had one very long week! An afternoon of unwinding with friends and cocktails is on the agenda and this sangria courtesy of Harper’s Bazaar and Eye Swoon sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

Here’s how to make it:

You will need:
1 bottle chilled Cava or Prosecco
4 oz Cointreau
1 cup sliced strawberries
1-2 peaches sliced
1 cup (250ml) chilled sparkling water
A few sprigs of basil leaves & lavender
Ice

1. Pour your sparkling wine into a pitcher, add your Cointreau, fruit and basil.
2. Just before serving add sparkling water, stir and add ice as needed.
