Steps
Pour the entire bottle of red wine into a large pitcher or carafe.
Add the lemon-lime soda.
Add slices of lemon, oranges and blood oranges to the pitcher. You can also add ice at this point if you prefer to chill the Spanish wine cocktail before serving (if you haven't chilled the ingredients already).
Use a long spoon or stirring utensil to gently stir all the ingredients together until well-combined. Pour Tinto de Verano into large glasses filled with ice. Garnish with additional slices of citrus or other fruit, basil, rosemary or mint. Enjoy!
