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.

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 ready to take the plunge Leeds, as a community-led sauna and ice bath concept is on its way.
Hidden behind a railway arch in Saxton Gardens, Kontrast is gearing up to bring its popular sauna and ice bath concept to the city.
Following the huge success of its Manchester site, Kontrast Leeds will combine saunas, ice baths and a cafe designed to bring wellness into everyday life.
The Leeds space will feature two traditional saunas, one infrared saunas and four ice baths each varying in temperature between 3 and 13 degrees.

Plunge pools can be enjoyed solo or shared, depending on what guests choose, giving people the opportunity to shape each session around exactly what they need that day.
To suit different moods and preferences, Kontrast Leeds will include both a social sauna and a silent sauna, giving guests the option to come for conversation or reflection.
Single sessions will cost just £12 for 45 minutes, with 90-minute sessions from £20.

Known for making sauna and ice feel more accessible, welcoming and community-driven, Kontrast has grown beyond regular sessions to become a base for recurring events. These include their live ambient DJ set event, Unwind, which celebrates local talent, and their weekly run club, both of which the team hopes to bring to Leeds as part of building a similar sense of community in the city.
The Leeds site builds on everything the team has learned from Kontrast in Manchester.
Alongside the core sauna, Ice, cafe offering, the new site will include improved facilities, more spacious sauna provision and additional ice baths meaning more room for people to get involved.
Leeds city centre crowned one of the best places to live in the north by The Sunday Times
Clementine Hall
Today, Leeds city centre earned itself a coveted spot in the annual Sunday Times Best Places to Live guide.
What brilliant news to end the week on, hey?
Leeds city centre was amongst eight other locations across the north and the north east to be featured on the list.
The market town of Skipton took home the dazzling first prize, but it's still nice to be included isn't it.
Here's what the judges had to say about Leeds city centre: “Leeds has five universities, the fourth largest urban economy in the UK (with job opportunities in finance, insurance and big business), a youthful vibe and a relatively affordable average house price (£285,100).

“Stay close to the centre, where you won’t have to worry about the patchy public transport, and it all adds up to a fun-filled, fulfilled life within walking distance of stylish shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. There’s a good choice of riverside homes, where you may spot kingfishers and otters, and even the schools are good.”
In total, 72 places across the UK were selected by The Sunday Times to showcase the very best of Britain, with Norwich named the overall national winner.
The full list of locations in the north and northeast include:
Skipton
Howardian Hills, North Yorkshire
Leeds city centre
Morpeth, Northumberland
Newcastle: Gosforth
Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire
Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire
York
Helen Davies, editorial projects director and Best Places to Live editor, said: “This guide is a great opportunity to highlight the best places in Britain.
“It is full of places that show that our village, town and city centres can still be full of life, as well as places bursting with natural beauty, culture, connectivity and most importantly a sense of community.
“Our expert team of judges visit every location on the list and talk to the locals to find out what they love about the place they live."
