Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine (dry or semi-dry)
- 750 ml Lemon-lime soda (or gaseosa)
- 1 whole Lemon
- 6 cups Ice cubes
- 2 slices Optional: Orange slices
- 4 leaves Optional: Mint leaves
Instructions
Chill both the red wine and lemon-lime soda in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to preparation for the most refreshing result.
Add the ice cubes to a large pitcher or serve directly in individual glasses.
Pour the red wine into the pitcher over the ice.
Add an equal amount of chilled lemon-lime soda to the pitcher, ensuring a 1:1 ratio of wine to soda.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the pitcher. Slice the other half into thin wheels for garnish.
Use a large spoon to gently stir the mixture to combine without over-carbonating the soda.
Taste and adjust sweetness or flavor by adding more soda or a splash of orange juice, if desired.
Serve immediately. Garnish each glass with a lemon or orange slice and a fresh mint leaf, if using.
