Make your own version of our famous Cardamom Cava Sangria

So it’s a UK bank holiday today, and that means one thing – Family & friends having BBQ’s (no matter the weather)! In honour of it being the peak of summer – we thought we’d share a special secret with you today!

Cardamom have created a few food and drink items over the years which guests always ask us how to make at home. One of these is the enjoyment of our Cardamom Cava Sangria recipe. Ideal for a hot afternoon – refreshing, fruity, ice cold and with the perfect amount of alcohol to relax you into any event, this drink choice is very popular in Ibiza, especially as an event welcome drink. To try our recipe at home, simply follow the following steps:

Prep time: Part day before (15 mins max), 30 mins on the day

Equipment:
Glass jug x2 (or x1 item similar to hold fruit in fridge overnight)
Knife
Chopping board
Fridge space
Stirrer
Wine glasses for serving

Ingredients:
1 apple
1 pear
1 peach
A handful of strawberries
Sugar syrup
Ice (lots!)
30cl Vodka
20cl Dark Rum
25cl Cointreau
Cold fresh orange juice (no bits!)
A cold bottle of Cava (or two!)

How to:

1. Cut up the apple, pear, peach, strawberries, place into jug (or similar) & cover in sugar syrup. Leave overnight to soak in the fridge.

2. Use fresh jug and fill ½ way with ice.

3. Add vodka, rum, cointreau, fruit.

4. Add orange juice until jug ½ full.

5. Add cold cava until full & stir.

6. Refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Now – we tend to make our cava in mass production, meaning the recipe quantities are just a guide. If you feel you want more alcohol, more fruit or to add your own twist – play around with it until it is your very own recipe! Plus one extra top tip for even more enjoyment; put your glasses in the freezer 1 hour before serving, then remove and pour into chilled, frosted glasses!

Easter Ibiza style

Despite being what many would associate as the worlds most famous disco island, religion is still alive and well in Ibiza. Living proof of this was seen this weekend, when the streets of Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia filled with the devout and the curious as a series of religious processions took place.

It’s a time when the ‘cofradias’ of the island – brotherhoods entrusted by the church with the care of their religious statues – parade solemnly through the streets in an age old tradition that has remained virtually unchanged for centuries.

They’re accompanied by marching bands, church officials, various different groups – women wearing the traditional black lace veil, the mantilla over a high comb, the peineta, and whole phalanxes of Roman Soldiers. Bearing the heavy weight of the statues on large floats, they march mimicking the gait of Christ in shackles on the way to the cross.

Each cofradia wears a unique uniform of different coloured robes and many have a tall cone shaped hood – a capirote – to hide the suffering on their faces and to signify their penance and a yearning to be closer to heaven. The music in minor keys, their shuffling gait and their almost sinister appearance almost transports one back to Spain’s darker past. It’s really quite an experience to see!

In Ibiza town, where a new cofradia has just been inaugurated by the church authorities, the procession took place on Good Friday evening, where the old cobbled streets of Dalt Vila are the perfect setting for such an ancient tradition.

When a client doesn’t book you, but gives you wonderful feedback…

For clients wanting to get married in Ibiza, we know it’s important to feel confident in a wedding planner’s ability to create exactly what you dream of (especially as most of our client relationships are from different locations across the globe). As such, we want to share some feedback from some clients who did not actually book their wedding with us (due to family circumstances they booked a different geographical location – you win some, you lose some!), but gave some great feedback on the enquiry process and their impression of us – which is an area we take great pride in.

You (Cardamom) put on some of the most unique and thoughtful events with the utmost consideration for your needs. You have been understanding about our changing needs throughout and are always so timely with your responses. If I was to describe Cardamom to a friend, I would tell them to use your company. You can put together any event and pull together all the strings that you never thought would be hanging, all in a one-stop-shop.

I really wish we could have worked with you guys, if only we had decided to hold our wedding on Ibiza. I was looking back at your facebook posts and getting so sad that we couldn’t do a projection project for our wedding by that poolside. You guys have the most unique and creative ideas about how to put together an out-of-the-box event that people will remember.
