Tinto de Verano

Servings 2
Tinto de Verano cocktail on a purple background with lemons and edible floral garnishes.

Overview

This effervescent drink popular in Spain screams summer. Similar to sangria, it’s a red-wine based cocktail that we’ve flavored with a honey lemon-lime syrup in place of the citrusy soda that’s usually added. 

Instructions

1. Wash Up!

2. Make the lemon-lime syrup: Combine the lemon peel, lime peel, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and whipped honey and stir until combined. Transfer the syrup to a jar and chill until cooled.

3. Make the cocktail: Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Add the wine, vermouth, and lemon-lime syrup and shake until chilled. Strain into ice-filled glasses.

To Serve: Top the cocktails with club soda and garnish with lemon slices and marigolds.

Pro Tip: Pitcher this drink up and serve with bottles of club soda on a bar for a simple self-serve cocktail.

Table Talk: Beach or mountains for a summer trip?
