Tinto De Verano

momaphet's Note:

Tinto de Verano is a refreshing drink similar to Sangria. However, there are fewer ingredients in this wine based mixed drink making it much easier and quicker to put together. Tinto de Verano translates to red wine of summer. In some regions of Spain it is common for locals to drink Tinto de Verano while tourists drink sangria.

I loved this! It is so simple, and light and refreshing! I tried it with the lemon,, and I also tried it with a squeeze of orange and that is really good too. This one is a real winner. Made for ZWT 8 Family Picks

This is really great and so darn easy!! I had everyting on hand and put this "sangria-type" drink together quickly. So much easier than making sangria and it really tastes great. Thank you so much for posting this little gem. Made for ZWT8 Spain/Portugal.

This is so yummy. I used diet sprite. So it's perfect for when we want a low-cal drink. Very refreshing. I feel like I'm going to have a few while traveling with my teammates of Diners, Winers and Chives. Made for ZWT8
