This is a classic summertime drink in Spain! Yummy, easy and not as fussy as sangria. Gaseosa is just sweet sparkling water. In a Spanish bar (or better yet, out on the terraza) you can order your tinto de verano with Casera (gaseosa) or limon (lemon soda).
Tinto de Verano (Red Wine and Lemon-lime Soda Spritzer)
Tinto de verano, which translates to "red wine of summer" is a surprising combination of red wine and lemon-lime soda. This cool spritzer is a perfect refreshment for hot summer days. If a lightly-sweetened lemon-lime soda like Spain's "gaseosa" can't be found, you can substitute Squirt or 7-Up cut with a splash of plain seltzer.
