Red wine with lemonade and ice cubes

[Skyrimisveryrelaxing]

Aibu to drink this? I just randomly fancy it tonight. Whats your weird alcohol combo?

That wouldn't be weird in Spain. You can buy it ready bottled. Very refreshing in summer.

I love that drink! Haven't had it for years...I may have one next time I'm out 🙂

That’s sangria.

Sounds like a simplified version of sangria!

Tinto de Verano. Lush. The only way to drink red wine imo!

Vodka, Stella, red wine and Lilt. It was the morning after a Y2K party, everyone was asleep and there was a lot of random booze leftover. I kept mixing until I created this masterpiece. I then slept for a day and woke up at home!

I can't honestly remember how it tasted, but I should definitely have stopped at vodka with Lilt.

I lived in Chile when I was younger and red wine and Coke was a common party drink among young people (I was in my 20s then) - could never get my head round that one.

Red wine and lemonade, not so bad. Basically simplified sangria - chuck a slice of orange and a wee dash of brandy in it if you have it in the house?

Tia Maria and lemonade...gorgeous! Just like chocolate orange x

I need to try it!

Red wine and coke/Pepsi. It's a Basque drink called Kalimotxo apparently created when the red wine delivered to a bar was pretty undrinkable. They drink it in Chile too but call it jote. I have a small amount of Chilean heritage and joke this is why I am the only British born person in England who likes it.

Drank it many times in Spain as a teenager 😂

Totally going to get slated for this but when I was pregnant with eldest (when advice was 2 or 3 units a week was fine) I developed a taste for lager topped off with cream soda. Sort of like a lager tops but 1/3 lager to 2/3 cream soda instead of lemonade. I still like it.

I drink red wine like that if it’s a bit strong - now I know to call it a Tinto de Verano!

Jote, of course! I had forgotten what it was called.

I do remember the brand of red wine most commonly used, though - I think it was called Gato Negro and came in a 1L Tetrapak carton?

I love tinto de verano, I drink it in Spain every time I'm there, so refreshing, i dont understand why so many people are saying you're unreasonable, its on the drinks menu everywhere in Spain. We tried red wine and coke also, it's pretty nice.

From many moons ago.... Lambranta

Lambrini and fanta.

Sweet, gassy, and not too classy.

How bizarre.

My son recently mentioned how some friends of his drank this a few years ago, and I wondered where on earth they got duch a foul idea...now I know...its a thing!

Thanks

My Spanish mate drinks red wine with coke. It's horrid! Her theory is you get the drunkenness of the red wine without he fall asleep element because of the caffeine:)

I like a strong orange squash, with a very small,large slug of spiced rum, to give it a bit of flavour.

They drink it in Hungary too! Generally with very rough red wine.

Aah, kalimotxo and tinto de verano...happy (if hazy 🥴) memories of an Erasmus year in Spain in the 90s!

Do you use full fat Coke or Diet Coke?

Red wine and proper Coke - I thought I was the only person who drank this! Had no idea it was a thing until reading this thread. I invented it for myself it at a student party decades ago, when the only non-vodka alcoholic drink left was red plonk.

Something else I invented around the same time, for when I didn't want alcohol, was grapefruit juice and Coke. Grapefruit first, in a highball, then gently add the Coke so that the two don't mix. About 1 juice to 2-3 Coke. Looks revolting

The way the contrasting flavours and textures come through as you drink is lovely.

Sounds like sangria.

It wouldn’t do for me, but each to their own.
