“Summer Wine” - an andalucian speciality.
Fill a tall glass with 3 cubes of ice and 2/3 red wine. Cheap or expensive, doesn’t matter. Top up with 1/3 bitter lemon/lemonade and add a wedge of lemon. Utterly orgasmic.

I am thouroughly familiar with “tinto de verano” in Spain.I usually get a table wine i.i Elegido brand and combine it with any ‘GASEOUSAS’ water,but when I try to match it here in Americ.
Can anyone suggest a wine and soda water type that comes close to my Spanisg gem?
Try using Diet Sprite - it’s quite close to La Casera (the real thing). You can add a few drops of Tonic to come even closer to La Casera - but its academic…
We had it mixed with Fanta Limon once. Very good, not too sweet. Anyone know of a good U.S. substitution for Fanta? We are going to try San Pelligrino Limonata.
When One of My girlfriends came back from Spain learned Me how to prepare it >:)
It’s My drink of this summer ;)
We use Sprite or 7up
I think Fresca or Sierra Mist are the best substitutes for Fanta Limon or whatever else is used outside of US. That’s what I use for Sangria too.
