Loose Women's Ruth Langsford's 'go-to summer cocktail' recipe step-by-step
The TV star, 65, unveiled her favourite summer cocktail on Instagram There's no finer time for a cocktail than summer. And now, Ruth Langsford has unveiled her go-to recipe that's best enjoyed amidst sunny British weather. While you might envision a Piña Colada or Mojito, the Loose Women star instead took viewers through a tutorial to make her favourite Limoncello Spritz. This involves just a handful of ingredients and takes minutes to make. "Hello and welcome to Ruth's happy hour," she said in an Instagram video earlier this week. "Now, I know a lot of people's go-to summer drink is an Aperol Spritz. Mine is a Limoncello Spritz. "So, I'm just going to put one together and show you what I do." First and foremost, Ruth popped a couple of ice cubes in some cocktail glasses before topping these up with some Limoncello - the key staple of this drink. While the star, 65, didn't exactly measure how much was put in, she stopped when the glass appeared just under half-full. Ruth explained: "I mean, you can do proper measurements - but you know. "I just go by eye. Good old slug of Limoncello - isn't that a pretty bottle? I love Prosecco anyway on its own, but this is a really fresh lemony [drink]." Popping open the bottle of Prosecco, Ruth poured some into each glass. She then followed this up with some Schweppes soda water - but only a little. "Okay, so then we are going in with Prosecco," she continued. "[Then] Schweppes, because I think it's the nicest, fizziest one. If I could actually undo it. Not too much, don't want to dilute everything. "And then this is a little hack of mine. I put all my lemon slices, I cut them, I put them in the freezer, put them in a little box, and then they are all done. And then they are like a lemon ice cube then. I do a couple of those - presentation is all Ruth. "Fresh mint - and there you go. Limoncello Spritz. Cheers, everyone." Ruth's summer cocktail was quickly showered with countless comments on Instagram, with many fans eager to try the recipe for themselves. One person wrote: "I LOVE Limoncello Ruth so deffo be trying this cheers." Meanwhile, another person added: "Definitely going try, all supplies are bought," as someone else said: "That looks delicious." Ruth's Limoncello Spritz ingredient list As outlined in Ruth's video tutorial, the star uses: Limoncello Schweppes soda water Ice cubes Prosecco Frozen lemon slices Mint leaves Captioning the video, Ruth also added: "It's light, refreshing and really easy to make. I don't bother using strict measurements but try and follow the 3-2-1 rule… 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Limoncello, 1 part soda water. "My top tip? Frozen lemon wedges. They keep your drink chilled without watering it down and add a lovely zingy twist!"

Osteria Mucca
✍️ Time Out Sydney never writes starred restaurant and bar reviews from hosted experiences – Time Out covers restaurant and bar bills, and anonymously reviews, so that readers can trust our critique. Find out more, here. There are a lot of beautiful dining rooms in Sydney – the kind that, when you step inside, whisk you away to another world; where thoughts of to-do lists and Everest-like piles of laundry melt away like lemon granita under the Amalfi sun. Bennelong, tucked within the city's white sails, is one of them. So too is the coastal kitsch of Sean's in Bondi. Osteria Mucca, a charming trattoria from the Continental Deli crew that opened in April this year, is another such room. Found on Newtown 's happening Australia Street, the 50-seat Italian restaurant had a past life as a butcher. Those 115-year-old forest-green-and-white tiles are the originals. Candles flicker on top of white tablecloths, Art Deco-style vintage lights hang from the ceiling – creating the perfect dinner-date glow – and vintage plates jazz up the walls. This is the work of Sarah Doyle, co-owner and creative director of Paisano & Daughters, who has a knack for creating venues with their own soul. (It just takes one peep into siblings and neighbours – eclectic fisherman's den Mister Grotto, honey-hued plant celebration Flora, and Continental Deli with its big Euro energy – to fully appreciate her talent.) The room feels like an occasion, so we bypass the Limoncello Spritz and Mucca Martini in favour of a glass of Sella & Mosca's sparkling from Sardinia, poured (and appreciated) tableside. Cheers. The timeless space isn't the only thing I'm a big fan of Leading the kitchen is Janina Allende, who ran the pass at Sydney favourite Pellegrino 2000 for more than two years, and also spent time on the pans at Alberto's Lounge and Bar Vincent. At Osteria Mucca, Allende is spotlighting regional Italian classics, with home-style recipes and handmade pasta. In a nod to the restaurant's former life – and because the group knows their way around meat (Osteria Mucca shares DNA with the award-winning Porteño) – they also do all their butchery in-house. FYI – 'Mucca' means 'cow' in Italian. But we start with land and sea – a riff on puntarelle alla Romana, which sees ribbon-like curls of the slightly bitter, crunchy and cool puntarelle coated in a punchy anchovy dressing tempered with creamy, veneer-white buffalo mozzarella. So good. Meanwhile, hunks of pickled cauliflower, carrot and onion rest atop a smooth, nutty fava bean dip doused in olive oil, and are best mopped up with a crusty ciabatta roll that the team source from Brickfields. Next comes our cotechino – a dish that tastes both new and familiar. Soft, house-made pork sausage meat fragrant with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg rests on a bed of slow-cooked buttery-sweet lentils and vegetables. It's adorned with a vivid salsa verde, chewy mustard fruits and delicate shavings of horseradish. Originating from northern Italy, cotechino con lenticchie is traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve; the coin-shaped lentils symbolising wealth and prosperity. I say to our waiter it tastes like Christmas, and he says it's a hit then, too. Also a hit: our bottle of 2022 Montesecondo Rosso sangiovese from Tuscany that's cherry-red and lovely with soft tannins. Ping-pong-shaped balls of ricotta gnudi, so soft you can cut them with a spoon, sit in a pool of browned butter and topped with crisp sage leaves and thin shavings of lemon rind that cleverly cut through and lift. This, and whatever season of Survivor, and you can stick a fork in me – I'm done Formidable pastry chef Lauren Eldridge is behind the desserts at Osteria Mucca (and the three other Paisano & Daughters venues), which features house-made gelato (right now it's grapefruit); cassata with ricotta, chocolate and candied fruit; and bonèt alla Piemontese – a chocolate and amaretti custard topped with marsala Chantilly. If I wasn't stuffed like a, well, gnudi, I'd go for one of those. On this Tuesday night, the room hums with songs my grandparents would have danced to, the clink of glassware and the laughter of friends. There's not a table free. I say goodbye to the team, pull on my coat, step into the fresh night air – and glance back one last time. For a few hours it was all about that bellissimo dining room, those knockout gnudi and the person across from me. That's the power of a great restaurant. Now, back to life admin.
