Tinto De Verano

Some days are really hot and there is nothing better than having a cold drink in one of those little cafe in front of the sea. Since I have been in Spain, one of my favorite drinks is the so called "tinto de verano" or "summer red wine". What's the difference from a normal glass of red wine? Well here is how you make it:
  • red wine (it doesn't have to be the best kind either because you'll have to mix it)
  • sparkling lemonade (if you are in Spain you might want to buy CASERA which is a "gaseosa")
  • ice
  • slice of lemon
In a tall glass put first the ice, then fill half of it with wine and the rest with the sparkling lemonade. As a final touch add a slice of lemon. You can adjust the proportions depending on your personal taste.

Enjoy!!!!!!
