Tinto de Verano: A Simple Spanish Summer Cocktail

Tinto de Verano is a simple Spanish summer drink, like a wine cooler.

It's made with red wine and lemon soda, served over ice.

It was created in Cordoba, Spain, in the early 20th century, as a refreshing alternative to straight wine.

Unlike Sangria, which has fruit and takes time to make, Tinto de Verano is quick.

You can add different sodas or a splash of rum for variety.

To make it, mix equal parts wine and soda, add ice and a lemon slice.
