Twisted: Unserious food tastes seriously good.

Ingredients

What you'll need:

5blood oranges + 1 for garnishing

500mlprosecco

1 tbspcorn syrup

120gcaster sugar

200mlspritz of your choice

To celebrate the rainy and crap summer (or perhaps blunt the feelings of despair caused by staring out of the window huddled in a blanket as 2023 drizzles away) we've come up with a new way to enjoy everyone's favourite drink, an A****L Spritz. Freeze it and slurp it up like you're 8 and you've just been swimming, but you are drunk.

Method

Squeeze the juice out of the oranges, using a sieve to catch any pips.

Heat the Prosecco, corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan until reduced by roughly half. Allow to cool.

When cool, whisk in the blood orange juice and spritz. Pour into a loaf tin and pop into the freezer, whisking every half an hour or so until you have a smooth slushy texture. Serve with a slice of blood orange.
