Like Prosecco? Oh yes me too and I loved the Hugo cocktail I tried at Pizza Express.
I liked it so much I decided I had to recreate it. It's not rocket science but it's very slurpable, so I thought I would share it with you along with my trip to Pizza Express in St Andrews.
I visited Pizza Express with my good buddies Stuart (Cakeyboi) and Genna (Blethering Boys). We were tasked with trying the Summer menu. It's sometimes tough being a food blogger!

We started with the most important order of the night, our cocktails. It was a good start to the night.
Then we went on to order some starters to share.
Polenta Chips
These were great and I loved the dip they were served with. Very moreish.
Leggera Panzanella "PizzaExpress"
Bosco
I did enjoy this one., but I don't think it needed the dough sticks. Mind you if you were having this as a main course you might be glad of them.
Leggera Superfood Salad
This was a heavenly salad. When I go back I'll be ordering this as a main course and not sharing it at all. This is what a salad should be.

Pizza
So hard to choose which one to have. I went for the Caprina Rossa. Beetroot, goat’s cheese, red onion, garlic, tomato and mozzarella. Finished with Gran Moravia cheese, rocket and pesto, served with a wedge of fresh lemon. It was a good choice. I do like a pizza topped with rocket and this one was lovely thin and crisp. A good flavour combo.
Dessert
For dessert I selected off the Summer menu. I went for the lemon curd sorbet with blueberries, coulis and a chocolate straw. It was the perfect finish to the meal. Really refreshing, but not heavy. I am liking the summery fresh flavours on their new menu.
As much as we enjoyed the food, we also had great service from the friendly staff and had a good view of the restaurant, which was rather busy for a Wednesday night. It's obviously a popular place. Oh I do like people watching. Don't you?

After our meal we had a wee stroll round St Andrews. If you haven't been, you must make plans to visit. I love all the cobbles and the architecture, never mind all the interesting little shops.

love the cocktail and the polenta chips
ReplyDeleteOh so did I Cate :)
DeleteOkay. This looks AMAZING. I love elderflower. I love mint. I love prosecco. This is my dream cocktail!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely the cocktail for you then Kate :)
DeleteI looove elderflower, not sure I've ever had it in a cocktail but now I'm wondering why not?!
ReplyDeleteI thought that when I saw it on the menu too. Soooooo good!
DeleteI'm not a fan of elderflower usually, but if it has booze with it, then I think I could get on board :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, you sound a bit of a pushover when it comes to drinks Dannii. An easy date I am thinking.
DeleteIt was a great night and that prosecco cocktail was amaze-balls! We got gifted a bottle of prosecco recently - must give this a try x
ReplyDeleteIt was a great night Stuart, tasty food and drink and fab company.
DeleteWonderful recipe! Would have a problem limiting myself to one, methinks!
ReplyDeleteYes, I can say that is a problem!
DeleteI'm genuinely planning to visit St Andrews in the Autumn, it's where my God Daughter is studying. I know she loves it and suspect she's a big fan of the Pizza Express already
ReplyDeleteSt Andrews is lovely Fiona. I am sure she will already be a fan. Give me a shout when you are up and I'll pop over to see you. It isn't far.
DeleteThat cocktail sounds delicious. I'm a bit of a fan of sparkly elderflower. GG
ReplyDeleteI'm the same and always tempted by anything with elderflower.
DeleteThat cocktail looks amazing! All the food looks great but I'm loving those polenta chips :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan and yes the polenta chips are worth ordering.
DeleteGreat cocktail full of summer flavours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bintu :)
