Recipe for Tinto de Verano
A cool and refreshing red wine cocktail perfect for summer parties!
Equipment
- 1 drink dispenser or pitcher
Ingredients
- 750 ml young, fruity red wine like Tempranillo (1 regular bottle)
- 750 ml sparkling lemonade (I used Whol Foods' Organic Tangy Lemon Italian Soda)
- 1 whole lemon (sliced)
- 1 whole orange (sliced)
Instructions
- Add sliced fruit to your drink dispenser or pitcher and pour red wine over top. Carefully pour in the sparkling lemonade and gently stir to mix without disrupting the carbonation.
- Pour over ice into any glass (a goblet or low ball glass work fine) and garnish with slice (or slices) of fruit.
Notes
You can add ice to the drink dispenser to help keep it cold, and or serve over ice. You can also add additional sliced citrus like limes or grapefruit.
