Tinto de Verano (Summer Red Wine)
After you taste this light, refreshing summer drink, sangria will be a distant memory. It is the perfect beverage for warm summer afternoons, and an ideal pair with any of your favorite tapas. This may soon become your summer go-to drink!
Ingredients
- Ice
- Lemon or orange slices, for garnish
- 1 bottle inexpensive, Spanish red wine (such as Protocolo Tinto)
- An equivalent amount of lemon soda*
- *Lemon Fanta is commonly used in Spain; it may or may not be available where you live. I prefer a strongly-flavored, tart sparkling lemonade, such as Whole Foods Lemon Italian Soda, or San Pellegrino Limonata.
