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?

Ewwwwww Grin
I have white wine with peach and passion fruit flavoured fizzy water, mmmmm Grin

Right. What am I doing wrong? I have mixed 50/50 Merlot and San Pellegrino lemonade and lots of ice. 5 different people have tried it now and we all think it’s horrible. Have I got the proportions wrong?

MadamePompadour · 26/07/2019 16:38

I'm going to try this, sounds refreshing.

QOD · 26/07/2019 16:45

@BertrandRussell yes. More wine.

Ffs there’s only EVER a need for more wine 🍷

My summer's have almost been ruined by the difficulties in obtaining sweetener free lemonade for my tinto de verano.

Lemon fanta shandies have had to be abandoned completely.

AnneKipanki · 26/07/2019 17:53

Perhaps a lighter red @BertrandRussell ?

MyFavouritePlace · 26/07/2019 18:12

Sorry being a bit dim here what type of lemonade, do you mean cloudy or the fizzy type?

I prefer the coke version.
Or as QOD suggested, more wine. You can never go wrong with more wine Grin

Fizzy lemonade: Sprite, 7 up etc

drspouse · 26/07/2019 18:16

No, it is lush and I want one now.
A Spanish friend gave me calamucho (sp) but wouldn't tell me what was in it, it's lovely though.

drspouse · 26/07/2019 18:19

I think you need R Whites @BertrandRussell not posh stuff.
I see someone knows Spanish spelling better than me!

MyFavouritePlace · 26/07/2019 18:20

Thanks @minou123

Gustavo1 · 26/07/2019 19:08

@BertrandRussell definitely, cheap white lemonade is what’s required!

BertrandRussell · 26/07/2019 19:52

That could explain it- too much flavour in the posh stuff.....

Wallabyone · 26/07/2019 19:58

I've not tried this, but I love port, lemonade, ice and lemon - it's a gorgeous drink.

Kalim8 · 26/07/2019 22:10

Heh

ScruffGin · 26/07/2019 23:00

Definitely needs cheap lemonade, or orange Fanta!

Brings back memories of my great aunt, she always had a splash of lemonade in her red wine!

oldenoughtobehavebetter · 27/07/2019 21:15

Brilliant thanks -off the back this thread I had a red wine Fanta and ice cocktail last night with my pizza and it was great!

IncrediblySadToo · 27/07/2019 21:30

I wish I was at home. I’m at work so no wine 😖I have a multitude of bits hurting & not working well already and now I have a very sore throat and feel crap. Alcohol of pretty much any variety sounds good (preferably low/no carbs and no calories either- 🙄🙄)
