Recept Tinto de Verano

Summer has begun, time for Tinto de Verano!
A delicious refreshing summer wine!

Tinto stands for ‘red wine’ and Verano for ‘summer’.

This cocktail is very refreshing on a hot summer day and easy to make yourself. Comparable to Sangria but easier and less heavy;)

Ingredients:

• Red wine
• Soft drinks eg Casera Gaseosa, Sprite, 7-up, Fanta lemon or Bitter lemon
• Ice cubes
• Slice of lemon

Use a large long drink glass and fill it with ice cubes. Fill with 1 part red wine and 1 part soft drink and garnish with a slice of lemon.

Use a simple table wine. It is a shame to mix a good red wine with soft drinks.

In Spain they often use Gaseosa from the brand La Casera but can also be replaced by another soft drink. And you can of course replace the lemon with other tasty summer fruits such as orange, grapefruit, strawberry … ..

And if you find the 50/50 red wine / soda ratio too strong, you can also adjust this to ⅓ part wine and ⅔ soft drink.

Make the Tinto to your taste, celebrate the summer and enjoy!
