Ciao Bella

Only two ingredients, plus a lemon slice, and you're on your way to a refreshing treat. Also know as Tinto Verano, roughly translated to "Summer Wine" in Spanish, this drink tastes a lot like traditional sangria and pairs well with a hot, summer day.

Fill your glass with ice
Fill 1/2 to 3/4 of your glass with red wine (any affordable red wine will do, don't go expensive here).
Top with Squirt (or Fresca) to fill your glass.
Add a lemon wedge and enjoy!
