We really liked this drink and I personally love how wine is added. It is a successful flavor combination that is reminiscent of Sangria but on a lighter/refreshing side. I can see making pitchers of this for a party where it would change the hearts of those who claim not to like wine. Thank you Chef PotPie for sharing. Made it for Seaside Brasserie - 2020.

You're a cab! Whew...this is soooooo good!!! I love the combination of lemonade and red wine but had never tried it with vodka. Wowsa, a new favorite! I reallyyyyyyyy love this drink! Thank you, thank you for posting! Into my Best of 2020 cookbook file it goes while I'm still sober. :)

Wow, what an awesome drink. I knew that I would enjoy it, I didn't realize how much I would love it. It is a flavorful strong drink, that makes you smile. I used an Argentina Malbec (Frzion Alta Malbec Tempranillo) so very good and a sparkling lemonade, plain vodka. Thanks for sharing this lovely treat Laurel. Happily made for Seaside Brasserie - 2020

Oh so good! I love that this is a cocktail I can make any day, any time - since the ingredients are always on hand. I used Tito's Vodka, a Beringer Cab, and homemade lemonade. I'm craving summer during this 2021 freeze spell, so this was a good drink to sip while sitting by the pool (in my sweatshirt!) and dreaming of warmer days...
