Spanish Tinto De Verano image

Literally 'Summer red wine', it's an ultra-simple tasty drink for hot days. I've known bartenders to make it with a shot of brandy or rum. I go without but by all means try it! Note: I make this by the cup so measurements are estimates.

Time 5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (750 ml) bottle red wine (a cheap tempranillo works great, or any medium bodied red)
2 liters lime flavored seltzer water
2 cups sugar
4 slices oranges (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Fill 16 oz. glass about 1/3 of the way with wine.
  • Mix in 1 tbsp sugar into wine.
  • Add a few cubes ice.
  • Top off with seltzer and mix. Taste.
  • It will probably need more sugar, but i like to add it slowly. I've found there's a fine line between bitter and overly sweet when it comes to this drink. Add bit by bit, mixing and tasting as you go, until you have a refreshing summer drink.
  • Garnish with an orange slice.
  • Happy hunting!
