To have mixed myself a red wine, lemonade and ice

[Dolphinia]

I decided to experiment with what I’ve got in the house and it’s amazing! My new favourite drink. Is it a thing already or have I invented something great?

Someone’s going to say it’s just sangria without the fruit, aren’t they

Pretty sure it's already a thing, sorry. It is lovely!

I don't think I've ever heard of it before but I'm happy to hear you are enjoying it!

Well if white wine spritzers are a thing, don't see why red wine spritzers can't be!

Tinto de verano or something similar. It's not given the credit it deserves.

In Spain it’s a Tinto de Verano. Summer red. Deliciously refreshing way to drink red in summer

Ooh that sounds nice! immediately checks for lemonade in the kitchen

In 1990 I worked in a pub in the alps and the boss drank red wine mixed with lemonade all the time. She was pretty cool too. Go for it!

I'm just off to put some wee cans of lemonade in the fridge - sounds lovely

Well regardless, you have just inspired me to make one of these OP and it’s very nice!

It's even nicer if you use fizzy orange rather than lemonade

You've inspired me to buy some red wine tomorrow to try this!

Just put the red wine in the fridge - it can be drunk chilled!

Some regions of Spain mix it with coke in hot weather

Red mixed with Diet Coke is popular in my slimming world group...

And you can freeze some grapes to use instead of ice cubes so it doesn't water down the drink. I have always few ready in a freezer😁

Very nice.

What is even better, is equal parts of red wine and coke. It's called a kalimotxo.

Very popular amongst the teenagers of Spain. I may or may not have enjoyed a small sip of this on a beach in spain, in my youth.....

The best way to do this is red wine, ice and san pellegrino blood orange fizz

I now have an urge to be sitting in a bar in the Costa de la Luz with a very large glass of tinto de verano and several plates of tapas.

Technically I think it is a combination of red wine and gaseosa which is slightly different to lemonade and which I've never been able to find here.

We call it summer wine. An Italian friend taught us. It's even better with Fanta lemon

I mix it with coke in winter - a Tunisian man showed me that and called it winter sangria

I read this as red wine, lemonade and ice cream. Very confused why no one else mentioned the ice cream!

@feellikeanalien that's precisely what I'll be doing at the weekend!

I live in Spain and a big glass of tinto de verano makes our long hot summer days much more bearable!

Sounds like a waste of good wine to me. I can't imagine I'd like it, especially not with coke or foxxy orange. Bleuck.

I tried making roman wine today and its bloody beautiful.

Put lots of honey and wine in pan and dissolve it then add peppercorns, fennel seeds (a lot) and 2 bay leaves. I also added 2 spoonfuls of jam in place of 2 dates. Heat it up to near boiling then stop. Add about 300ml of nice water and heat up to near boiling again and stop. Leave it for a few hours then filter it.

And yeah isnt that just a spritzer but with red wine instead of white?
