Refreshing Red Wine Lime Spritzer

Ingredients

- 1 cup of red wine
- 1/2 cup of lemon-lime soda
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Lime or lemon wheel for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Wine Base
Set a small saucepan on the stove over low heat. Pour in 1 cup of red wine, allowing it to gently warm. This process helps to meld and intensify the flavors. Do not let the wine reach a boil; aim for a gentle warmth, approximately 2 minutes on low heat (PT2M).

2. Combine Ingredients
Once the wine is slightly warmed, remove the saucepan from the stove. In a mixing bowl or a large measuring cup, combine the warmed red wine with 1/2 cup of lemon-lime soda. Then, add 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir gently until all liquids are well mixed.

3. Chill and Serve
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes to your preference. Divide the wine mixture evenly between the glasses. Stir gently to chill the mixture thoroughly.

4. Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish each drink with a lime or lemon wheel by placing it on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately while cold, and refresh yourself with each sip.
