Sierra Licensed to About.com At a Glance Prep Time : 5min Course : Beverage Special : Easy Type of Prep : Assemble Cuisine : Spanish Occasion : Cookout, Father's Day, July 4th, Labor/Memorial Day, Party, Picnic, Summer Suggested ReadingTinto de Verano - Spanish Wine CocktailThe name Tinto de Verano translates into English as Red Wine of Summer. It is a refreshing wine cocktail served in summer all over Spain. Although similar to sangria, it is easier to make and has less alcohol in it, making it the perfect to sip at a pool party or at the beach on a hot afternoon. Although the Spanish use what they call gaseosa or Casera which is a lightly sweetened soda, you can use any lemon-lime soda. If it is too sweet for your taste, add a splash of soda water or seltzer. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:Makes one Serving In a tall glass of at least 20 ounces, place 3-4 ice cubes. Add red wine and soda. Garnish with a lemon slice. Serving SuggestionIt is not important what variety of red wine that you use in this cocktail. Our rule on wine punches and cocktails is this: If you wouldnt want to drink the wine by itself in a glass, then dont use it in a punch or cocktail. You dont have to use your best wine, but using a decent table wine will prevent you from having a bad hangover. Suggested Reading |
