Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass

    Place a highball or large rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and cold water for 2–3 minutes to cool while you prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Add ice

    Fill the chilled glass about two-thirds full with fresh ice cubes (approximately 1 cup).

  3. 3

    Measure and pour wine

    Measure 1 cup of dry red wine and pour it gently over the ice. Use a young, fruity red (Tempranillo, Garnacha, Merlot or similar).

  4. 4

    Add cola

    Measure 1 cup of cola and slowly pour it down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon to reduce agitation and retain carbonation.

  5. 5

    Brighten with lime

    Add 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice to the mixture and stir once or twice gently with a bar spoon to combine without flattening the cola.

  6. 6

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or dropped into the drink. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon.
