A glass of Tinto de verano with ice sits on a stack of a small gray plate and a larger wooden saucer. A slice of lime perches on the ice, adding a My Way twist. In the background, a bottle of wine and half lime rest casually on the gray surface.

Ingredients

  • Red Wine
  • Limeade
  • lime slices to garnish
  • lime or lemon soda optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the limeade. Pour limeade into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. This usually takes a few hours, so preparing them in advance is best.
  • Once frozen, fill your glass with the limeade ice cubes.
  • Pour red wine over the limeade ice cubes until the glass is about halfway full or to your liking.
  • OPTIONAL: Top with lemon-lime soda: Fill the rest of the glass with the soda, allowing it to mix naturally with the wine.
  • For a final touch, add a slice of lime or lemon to the rim of the glass.
