Before we all go our separate ways this weekend, I want to share a recipe for a really nice summery drink. Its called Tinto de Verano and its a Spanish cocktail similar to Sangria but without the necessary soak time. Supposedly it is what Spaniards drink while tourists have Sangria ha ha.
Its super simple and really refreshing. And it might be all you need to make your Saturday a little more magical (I mean alcohol always helps right?).
The recipe is really simple. All you need is:
- Red wine
- Lemon-lime soda (Sprite works great)
- Seltzer water
- Lemon slices for a garnish. (I like Limes too)
Then just mix in equal parts wine and seltzer and add a splash of soda. Serve over ice with garnish.
Have a happy weekend!

Might make your Saturday a little more luxurious?
This is really good if you add a little Mexican coke and orange slices, too! We used to make this at a bar I worked at, yum!
