The secret to a good Tinto de Verano lies in balance. Ideally, use a smooth Spanish red wine, such as a Tempranillo or Garnacha. These grape varieties are fruity without being too full-bodied. Also, choose a lightly sweetened sparkling beverage; otherwise, the cocktail will be too thick. You can also opt for a sugar-free lemon version if you prefer a lighter drink.
You can also experiment by adding other ingredients. For example, mint for a touch of freshness. Or a splash of orange juice for a fruitier taste. But above all, keep it simple: that’s precisely what makes this drink so great.
Perfect for a sunny day.
Whether it’s for a barbecue, relaxing on the balcony, or simply a sunny afternoon in the garden, Tinto de Verano is always a great option. Low in alcohol and easy to prepare, it offers a multitude of variations. And since it’s lighter than a glass of wine, you can enjoy it throughout the day.
