🍷 Tinto de Verano Recipe: Fall is coming but temps are still blazing. You need this drink! Originating from Spain, this popular warm weather cocktail is beloved for its simplicity + vibrant flavor.
Translating to “red wine of summer,” Tinto de Verano is typically made with a light to medium bodied red wine and a fizzy soda. I chose Tempranillo and paired it with 7UP. With a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to finish, and a lemon garnish, this drink is the ultimate refreshment.
Here’s how to make it:
- 1 part Tempranillo
- 1 part 7UP or your favorite lemon-lime soda
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Garnish with a slice (or two or three) of lemon
Simply pour over ice, stir gently, and enjoy this light and refreshing sip! 🍹
Pro Tip:
- Chill your wine and soda in advance!
- For a less sweet version, use soda water with your own lemon-lime syrup or try Spanish favorite La Casera for a more authentic twist!
Raise your glass to the end of summer with this delightful drink! Cheers, ...
