title_body: Rose colored wine cocktail
upvoted_answer: I do love a wine spritzer and cocktails, as you can take a fabulous wine, white or red, add splashes of other liquid(s) for a light and refreshing drink. I also love your questions, and would like to be your neighbor, invited over for drinks (I'll bring the hors d'oeuvres).
  
  So, for your glorious rose-colored beverages, along with rosy images!
  
  Tinto de Verano

  Traditional-flavored gaseosa can be replicated by mixing Sprite or 7-Up with carbonated water.
  
  Serve over ice with a slice of lemon.

  1/5 Crème de Cassis to
