Tinto de verano - online puzzles

Tinto de verano (literally " red wine of summer ") is a cold, wine -based drink similar to sangria. It is popular in Spain.

The drink is simpler than sangria, normally made up of 1 part of table red wine and 1 part gaseosa. Gaseosa is a general term for sodas and carbonated drinks, but the preferred mixer is a mild-flavored, low- sugar, carbonated lemonade, of which La Casera is the best known brand. Proportions vary according to taste. Traditional-flavored gaseosa can be replicated by mixing Sprite or 7-Up with carbonated water.

Rum is sometimes added to the drink. It is served over ice, sometimes with a slice of lemon.

As the name suggests, tinto de verano is usually served during the summertime. It is often home-made, or bought ready-bottled from supermarkets.
