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.[1] It is served over ice, sometimes with a slice of lemon.
