Notes

Serve in any type of glass. High ball, low ball, wine glasses, and goblets work.
Unfortunately, tinto de verano doesn't hold up well after being stored. If you try to make it ahead of time, the lemon soda will go flat. Serve it immediately.
To make a larger pitcher, triple or quadruple the recipe.
