Forget sangria...tinto de verano is Spain's true summer drink. In this episode, we break down tinto de verano: what it actually is, the correct ratio of ice and the mixer, where it came from, and why it's THE drink. Literally "summer red wine." And it does exactly what it says. Red wine, carbonated mixer, a lot of ice, and usually a slice of lemon. That's the whole thing. We go into the origin story, which leads us to Córdoba in the 1920s, a roadside flamenco tavern, a man named Federico Vargas Madero, and a second, competing theory. Find out what gaseosa actually is and why La Casera's 1960s advertising slogan became a phrase people still use in everyday Spanish conversation.
