Similar to Sangria, Tinto de Verano is a cold wine-based cocktail that originates from Spain. It can be translated as Red Wine of Summer, so it is not a surprise that it is mainly consumed during summer as a refreshing drink that can be made at home or bought in supermarkets, where it is often readily available.

Tinto de Verano is made with equal parts red wine and gaseosa, which is a general term for mild-flavored sodas and carbonated drinks. The beverage is traditionally mixed with a lightly sweetened lemonade called La Casera, but it can be replaced with Sprite or 7-Up combined with sparkling water.

While the classic recipe consists of only those two ingredients, rum can also be added to the cocktail for a unique aftertaste. In some varieties, red wine is replaced by rosé, while lemon-based soda can be substituted with orange-based soda.
