A bar in Leeds is selling giant kilners of Pornstar Spritzes and we need them in our life.
City centre rooftop bar Angelica revealed the new drink on their Instagram this week, sharing an image of the giant orange spritz with the caption:
"Pornstar Spritzer. That's it, that's our post. just Pornstar Spritzer."
"See you soon."
Pictured in a large glass Kilner jar with its own dispensing tap, the sharing cocktail is made with Ketel One botanical peach and orange vodka, aperol, orange bitters, passion fruit puree and pineapple juice, topped with prosecco.

Served as part of Angelica's botanical garden in the sky menu and created in collaboration with Ketel One, the super-refreshing cocktail is just what we need to cool us down on one of the hottest weekends of the year.
Served alongside balloon gin glasses filled with ice and slices of passionfruit, it's an absolute dream summer sharer. At £40, it's not the cheapest but by the looks of the size of it there'll be plenty of spritz to go around.
It has some gorgeous dishes on the menu too if you fancy staying for a bite / Image: Angelica
Heading up to Angelica's rooftop bar terrace and sinking a few of these whilst enjoying epic views across the city sounds like a perfect weekend plan to us.
Of course, if you're not sold on the pornstar spritz they've got a whole host of gorgeous cocktails to choose from here.
On the Ketel One list, drinks like Summer Rain (Ketel One botanical cucumber and mint, St Germain elderflower liqueur and tonic) and the Peach Me Up (Peach and orange blossom vodka, apricot brandy, passionfruit syrup and prosecco) have caught our eye - but there's plenty more on the main list too.

Think pink, white and red sangria, a sevilla negroni, and a whole host of bespoke signature cocktails that are sure to hit the spot.
Sounds good? We think so too. See you up on the roof.
Find Angelica in Leeds' Trinity Centre on Level 6 at 70 Boar Ln, Leeds LS1 6HW.

Get Baked’s viral ‘Bertha’ cake has a sister on the way – and she sounds just as cheeky
She's big, she's green and she's ready to ruin your figure.
A lot of you will have seen the viral ‘Bertha’ cake by Leeds born beloved sweet treat specialists Get Baked.
They recently opened another site in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where queues literally formed round the block of hungry punters wanting to get their hands on the infamous sugary treats.
And now it's going to happen all over again, as they've recently unveiled their newest flavour which is sure to go down a storm.
We’ll give you a hint: it’s a current food and drink trend that’s about as big as Bertha herself – it’s not matcha, it’s not hot honey (duh), and it’s not Guinness…

Yes—scratch that; HELL YES!Get Baked is set to welcome Bertha’s equally beautiful twin sister, and she’s officially a pistachio girlie.
Having started out life simply as ‘Bruce’, after taking inspiration from the iconic scene from Matilda, this thing has become a phenomenon in its own right, and who doesn’t like more flavours of a good thing?
Probably one of the biggest foodie crazes going at the minute, thanks to the popularity of pistachio cream, cookies, lattes and the similar social media sensation that is the ‘Dubai Pistachio Bar' people are rather fittingly going nuts for this particular flavour of almost absolutely anything.
With that in mind, the Leeds-born bakery and dessert shop – founded by Rich Myers over in Headingley back in 2011 – have shown no hesitation in hopping on the bandwagon and creating a new twist on their own viral menu item.
Teasing the full details in a post on their Instagram this week, they wrote: “What’s big, green, and is going to destroy your life in a couple of weeks’ time? Pistachio Bertha. Strictly limited to 5,000 slices. Coming oh so soon. GB.”
In case you were wondering just how mad those with a sweet tooth could possibly go for a slice of cake, just look at the recent queues when they finally launched in Manchester city centre:
Speaking on the grand opening here on our turf and his partner Amy’s hometown, Myers said simply: “Manchester, what a launch. Thanks for much for the warm welcome. Stay baked.”
