While celebrating my high school graduation last summer in Spain, I found the drink of my dreams: tinto de verano. Think red wine and citrus soda (i.e. San Pellegrino aranciata, aranciata rossa or limonata). Sounds amazing, right?
Upon returning from our fabulous Spanish adventure, my mother, foodie extraordinaire, combined all sorts of Spanish wines and citrus sodas until she found the perfect concoction that could bring us back to our favorite cafés in Barcelona and Madrid. Yes, you should be very excited about this recipe.
