My sons birthday is next month and he has invited his lowrider car club. I came across this Spanish wine cocktail/cooler/punch. I think it sounds good for an August BBQ party. Has anyone tried it or have opinions?
Ingredients:
750 ml bottle young & fruity red wine
750 ml lemon flavored soda or orange soda or lemonade and club soda
1 slice lemon
1 slice orange
200 ml sweet vermouth, optional
Stir just to combine. Serve over ice.
It says a Spanish garnacha or pinot noir are good choices. I couldn't find that Spanish wine. I wonder if a Spanish tempranillo or old vine zinfandel would work or maybe a sweet red Italian wine? The people who will come are all at least in their mid 30's or older. I am guessing that the ones who might drink a wine cocktail would like it on the sweet-ish side. I think it might appeal to the ladies. The guys will be happy with a cooler full of beer.
