It’s hardly summer in Spain until people are drinking tinto de verano outside. Tinto de verano is a popular drink where wine is mixed with lemon-lime soda. I wanted to combine the fruity flavor of Sangria, but also the light effervescence of tinto de verano. I made mine with strawberries— inspired by sangria I had in Seville—and also added kiwi, a popular fruit in my home stay. Blood orange soda, instead of lemon-lime, is a great and refreshing way to expand a bottle of wine.
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of a red wine you like (I used Evodia Calatayud red wine ’10)
- 1 package of strawberries
- 3 kiwis
- 1 bottle of Lorina sparkling Italian blood orange juice
Directions:
- Quarter the strawberries and peel and slice the kiwis.
- Marinate the fruit in the red wine, refrigerating for 24-48 hours.
- Pour in the blood orange soda and serve with a strawberry or kiwi garnish.
