Ingredients

  • 1 bottle young, fruity red wine chilled
  • 3 cups lemon or orange-flavored soda chilled
  • 1 orange sliced
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 6 fl oz sweet vermouth optional
  • ice cubes
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Pour the red wine into a large pitcher, then add the soda.
  • Add the lemon and orange slices and the vermouth (if using). Stir until combined, mixing gently to avoid losing too much carbonation.
  • Pour into ice-filled glasses and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Choose a young, fruity red wine that's drinkable on its own to prevent a bad hangover. Spanish garnacha (grenache) or pinot noir would work well. However, don't use a wine with complex flavor notes; it's not needed.
  • Can't find lemon Fanta? Use a mixture of lemonade and soda water, simple syrup and soda water, or swap it out for orange soda.
  • Vermouth: This is totally optional and not an ingredient in most places, but I love it! I recommend an ounce of vermouth per glass of tinto de verano.
