Tinto de verano

Tinto de verano is a special drink that people like to have during the summertime when it is hot outside. It comes from a country called Spain, which is far away from where we are right now.

To make tinto de verano, grown-ups mix red wine with something called carbonated lemonade. Carbonated means that it has bubbles in it, like soda. Lemonade is a sweet drink made from lemons. So when you mix the two together, you get a bubbly, fruity drink that is very refreshing on a hot day.

Sometimes, grown-ups may also add some ice cubes or a slice of lemon to make the drink even more tasty and refreshing. But it's important to remember that tinto de verano is only for grown-ups and they should never ever offer it to children.

So there you have it, tinto de verano is a grown-up drink made from red wine and carbonated lemonade that is perfect for hot summer days in Spain.
