Tinto de Verano (“red wine of summer”) mixes red wine with lemon soda or gaseosa over ice. It is lighter and less bitter than a Kalimotxo (wine and cola) and built for heat. Served tall, it is a classic European low-ABV hosting drink.

Bartender's Note
Use an inexpensive young red. Lemon soda (or lemonade lightly cut with soda) beats plain Sprite for balance.
