A summer staple. Good for sipping inbetween repotting herbs, rearranging pots, or picking up fallen white rose petals. The condensation on the glass starts to drip with little mud rivers, after a while. To make, a splash of good crème de cassis, a slug of medium to light-bodied red wine, a slice of lemon, ice cubes. Stir.

I've been needing an alternative to my friend Margarita for puttering around in the garden. This sounds like a winner - and a great excuse for some Creme de Cassis! Thanks.
mmmm - summer flavour!
I'll stick to my summer (or indeed any time of the year!) staple...Vodka and Ginger Beer with Ginger Beer ice cubes, very thirstquenching!!
I do love margaritas, but this is a little softer. But darn it, now you've made me want a margarita, webb! Tsk.
Belinda yes, weird with the red wine, but it is!
Anne - hm, sounds pretty good, and silenly lethal (non-taste of vodka!). I have been guilty of introducing Tequila to ginger beer, with lots of lime slices. Have you tried Pimms, too?
Pimms is very nice but I'm afraid I can't be bothered to wade through the forest of greenery to get to the drink!
Another summer time favourite, Kirsch folded into choc chip ice cream..yummy!
