"I enjoy a glass of sangria in summer and winter," says celebrity chef Zola Nene, author of Simply Zola.
"It’s great as an entertaining cocktail because you can make a large jug of it and your guests can help themselves. I make mine with rosé wine, but it’s just as delicious with red wine."

250ml fig or plum vodka or plain vodka
1 litre white grape juice

Ice
1 litre lemonade
