Tinto de Verano
Wine with Fanta Lemon
Sunshine in a glass, no ticket to Spain required
In the south of Spain, a Tinto de Verano is as familiar as sunshine itself. Yet beyond Spain, many people have never heard of it. The idea red wine mixed with lemon soda might raise an eyebrow, especially among devoted wine lovers. And fair enough. But it’s one of those things that’s truly worth trying, whether you’re sipping it under the Andalusian sun or simply at home on a warm afternoon.
Close your eyes for a moment. Feel the warmth of the sun, hear the low hum of a terrace, the gentle clink of ice in a glass. That’s exactly what this drink is about simple pleasures, effortlessly enjoyed.
This playful twist with Fanta Lemon makes it even fresher, even more thirst-quenching, and above all, wonderfully easy to fall for.
What you’ll need
- 100 ml red wine (something smooth and fruit-forward)
- 100 ml Fanta Lemon
- A generous handful of ice
- A slice of lemon (for both looks and a little lift)
How to make it
- Fill your glass generously with ice the more, the better
- Pour in the red wine, then top up with Fanta Lemon.
- Give it a gentle stir… and that’s it. Yes, really, it’s that simple.
Why this might become your new favourite
- Fresh as a sea breeze
- Light and easy to drink
- Ready in seconds
- The perfect excuse for “just one more”
Whether you’re in the garden, on a balcony, or dreaming of southern Spain, this drink brings a touch of summer to wherever you are.
Cheers
