Have you ever sat on the sunny terrace of a Spanish house and seen a red drink being served with ice? Chances are it was a Tinto de Verano. This Spanish summer drink has also become increasingly popular in the Netherlands in recent years. You can find it on terraces, in beach bars, and even on the menu of your favorite bar or resterant . And it’s no wonder: refreshing, easy to make, and ideal for hot summer days, it’s the perfect way to quench your thirst. AlcoholicBeverages
Tinto de Verano, literally “summer red,” is a simple mix of red wine and sparkling water. Unlike sangria, which often contains several fruits and liqueurs, this drink remains simple. As a result, it’s lighter, less sweet, and quicker to drink. It’s ideal if you don’t want to make complicated mixes but still want to enjoy a tasty summer beverage.
