SUMMER SPRITZ MENU 🍹Perfect for sipping in our Courtyard 🌺

30/07/2026

Meet the cocktail everyone's talking about! 🌿🥂

Hugo Spritz has arrived at The Black Lion – a refreshing blend of elderflower liqueur, Cava, soda and lime that's become one of Europe's trendiest summer serves.

It bursts with the flavours of St-Germain - a premium French liqueur, famous for its use of fresh elderflowers and unique Art Deco bottle. Launched in 2007, it is the world's first all-natural elderflower liqueur.

We think it looks rather elegant in a long glass - what do you think?

And if Hugo isn't your thing, our new Summer Spritz menu has something for everyone, including:
🍓 Pimm's & Lemonade
🍊 Aperol Spritz
🍋 Limoncello Spritz
🩷 Raspberry Bellini

Which one will you be trying first? 🍹

🌺 Our Courtyard is looking colourful, thanks to the handiwork of landlord Darren and his encyclopaedic knowledge of plants 🌺
Gardeners have faced a difficult growing season hindered by drought-like conditions making it hard to show off their finest blooms, so we're delighted our little oasis in the heart of town is looking so lush and welcoming 🌿
Enjoy food and drink in 'The Courtyard at The Lion' 🌺🍽🥂

Nantwich is going for another Gold in the North West in Bloom contest and we think the town is looking bloomin' marvellous! Well done Nantwich in Bloom from everyone at The Black Lion 🌺 Fingers crossed for the judging tomorrow 🤞

We have been working hard leading up to judging on Wednesday morning. As well as the usual work of looking after the floral displays in the town centre we have to clean everywhere as we would get marked down for litter and mess. So still a lot to do to keep the town looking lovely.
Our last working party before judging us Tuesday 28th July at 4pm so please come out to lend a hand if you can.
Although we need to concentrate our efforts for Wednesday we want Nantwich to look its very best all the time, so please help by litter picking and not dropping cigarette ends.
Many thanks for your interest and help.
