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!"

Eamonn Holmes 'takes brutal swipe at ex-wife Ruth Langsford' as he gushes over new love Katie Alexander
Eamonn Holmes reportedly took a brutal 'swipe' at Ruth Langsford while gushing over his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. The TV presenter, 65, found love with Katie, 43, following his divorce from Ruth, 65, in May 2024, when they split after 14 years of marriage and two decades together. Eamonn and Katie have not been shy of showing off their affections for one another and looked very loved-up at GB News star Nana Akua's engagement party earlier this month. While attending the glitzy party, Eamonn seemingly took a swipe at his ex-wife Ruth while discussing his blossoming new relationship, according to Bella Magazine. He described Katie as his 'soulmate', before adding: 'In sickness you find out who is there for you.' A source told The Mirror of his remark: 'It was an insensitive comment from Eamonn, but he's smitten with Katie and does feel like she has been there for him through the hard times. 'That said, it is a kick in the teeth for Ruth because she has been there for him since the beginning.' Eamonn has battled a number of health problems in recent years, including a double hip replacement surgery, slipped discs and ongoing spinal problems. MailOnline has contacted Eamonn's representatives for comment. Eamonn and Katie grew close last summer and began dating soon after, with engagement rumours even swirling in December. Eamonn and Ruth had shocked fans with their joint statement on May 25, 2024, confirming the end of their 14 year marriage. However, the TV presenter continued wearing his wedding ring before he ditched the band last month, while Ruth has also stopped wearing her ring. At first, Ruth had resolutely kept her ring on, even declaring to a fan that she wouldn't remove them 'because I am still married', before officially ditching the band. The exes are now going through divorce, with Ruth thought to be desperate to finalise their split, having sought advice from lawyers to keep their £3.6million six-bedroom home in Surrey. However, Eamonn is reportedly 'dragging his feet' and is 'determined' to get his finances back in order to give Katie the same lavish lifestyle his ex Ruth enjoyed. A source told The Sun: 'Katie's been a rock to Eamonn throughout his ongoing divorce Eamonn's health is always a big concern and after a few tax blows lately, he is more determined than ever to get his finances back in order. 'Eamonn feels hard done by in the divorce. 'He's dragging his feet because Ruth's got the house and they have a lot of other financials still to sort out between them. 'Eamonn knows his mobility issues are a worry, he needs a carer to help him get ready for work and that's expensive.' The insider added that Eamonn 'doesn't want to lose' Katie, and is keen to give her the 'kind of lifestyle she deserves'.

Eamonn Holmes ‘has terrible fallout with his son' after he takes ex Ruth Langsford side in bitter divorce battle
EAMONN Holmes is said to have fallen out with his son Niall after he takes Ruth Langsford side amid the TV star's bitter divorce. Eamonn, 65, began dating Katie Alexander, 43, in mid-2024 following his split from his wife of 14 years, Ruth, 65. 4 4 Ruth is understood to be desperate to finalise her divorce to Eamonn but girlfriend Katie has backed Eamonn for him to fight what is his when working out the terms of their divorce. As the divorce gets increasingly messy, Eamonn and Ruth's kids have been dragged into the middle of it. The former couple share a son together, Jack, 23, while Eamonn has three children from a previous marriage, Declan, 36, Rebecca, 34, and Niall, 32. Eamonn has now reportedly had a "terrible falling out" with Niall over a year ago and the pair haven't spoken since. Niall is said to have sided with his stepmum Ruth over his own dad. "Niall and Eamonn had a massive fall-out, there was a huge row following his split from Ruth. Things were said between them that cannot be unsaid. It must be heartbreaking for Eamonn," a source told the Mail. 'Eamonn accused him of siding with Ruth while Niall hit back about his dad's behaviour. This all happened more than a year ago and they haven't spoken since. Niall adores Ruth." Eamonn's eldest children Declan and Rebecca are still close to their dad but has been "caught in the cross-fire". While Eamonn and Ruth's son Jack is said to have sided with his mum, with the Loose Women star having set Jack up in a flat in Salford.

RUTH Langsford has sent a clear message to her ex Eamonn Holmes as she ditches her wedding ring. The Loose Women star posted a brand new Instagram video which showed her preparing one of her favourite salad's she enjoys making. 5 5 Ruth has famously always kept her wedding ring on since her split from the star but now she has ditched it following another flashy night out for Eamonn and his much-younger girlfriend, Katie Alexander, 43.
