GREAT EASTER WINE DEALS!


If you’re entertaining family and friends over Easter, celebrate with a glass of our most popular Prosecco by Rocco. Prosecco is a creamy and refreshingly dry Italian sparkling wine from the Veneto, and is made from a white grape variety called Prosecco. It is believed to have been made since Roman times and if you add a dash of white peach puree, you have a gorgeous Bellini cocktail! Save £2 - £3 on every bottle of Rocco Prosecco this Easter, while stocks last!



What could be more spring-like than a Mimosa cocktail? You will love this.
MIMOSA

½ shot Grand Marnier liqueur

1 ¾ shots freshly squeezed orange juiceTop up with Brut champagne (oh alright, you could use Prosecco – see above!)
Pour the ingredients into a chilled flute glass and stir gently. Garnish with an orange twist. This cocktail was created in 1925 at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and was named after the yellow flowering shrub of the same name. The mimosa is in blossom in Italy in particular in March and has become the symbol of the Festa de la Donna (Women’s Day). Traditionally, men buy sprigs of mimosa as gifts for the women in their lives.
