Four affordable wines, perfect for raising a glass to summer.

Superlative sangria Fruity red wines with soft tannins are great for making sangria. In a punch bowl, combine one 750-mL bottle of red wine, 360 mL (12 oz) orange juice and 240 mL (8 oz) lemon-lime soda. Add maraschino cherries and slices of orange, lemon and lime. Go to espacecocktail.com for other recipes for white, red or pink sangria.

TIP Heat toughens the tannins in red wine – which is why, on hot summer days out on the patio, you should keep your bottle of red in an ice bucket. As you sip it in the blazing sunshine, it’ll be that much more refreshing.

Made from honey, mead comes in natural, flavoured, fortified and sparkling versions. Excellent with cheese (blue, brie or cheddar) and desserts (walnut cake, crème brûlée), mead is also tasty in cocktails or served slightly chilled on its own. Another idea: instead of white wine, sip dry mead with chicken or fish.

AROUND THE BBQ

A few phone calls, and guests are soon congregating in the backyard. Get things off to a great start with trendy, creative aperitifs: Think marinated cheese and easy appetizers for noshing and coolers, CASUAL MODE slushies and winesicles for refreshments.

Hostess Tip Unexpected guests? Coolers are your best friends! Just add fruit juice, a fizzy beverage or freshly sliced citrus, and voila, instant cocktails.

Presentation Ideas Mason jars are the latest thing for serving cocktails in, but you can also use mini glass bottles. The idea is to play with drink colours like the yellow and green here.

QUICK AND EASY SCALLOP CEVICHE IN VERRINES Remove muscles from eight scallops, cut the scallops into small pieces, transfer to a bowl and reserve. Parboil a bell pepper for one minute, remove skin and seeds, and ﬁnely dice. Reserve. Mix the zest of one lime and the juice of two limes with the scallops. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Let rest for ﬁve minutes, then add the bell pepper. Divide preparation among four verrines. Garnish with lime slices on wooden cocktail picks.
