The frozen cocktail that reinvents Tinto de Verano
Par Nolwenn Quiot-Ducarre
A walk in the polar cold… but in summer! Polar Verano is an elegant reinterpretation of the famous Spanish cocktail Tinto de Verano. Inspired by the fresh, gourmet spirit of our Polar Walk red Vin de France, this cocktail charms with its simplicity and liveliness. Far from the original Andalusian heat, it captures a ‘polar’ freshness: light, fruity and thirst-quenching. Enjoy it as a summer aperitif or surprise your guests in winter, served very chilled.
🍹 Polar Verano recipe
Ingredients (1 carafe – 6 glasses):
- 75 cl Polar Walk – Vin de France red wine
- 50 cl sparkling artisan lemonade
- Zest of 1 organic lemon
- 1 organic orange, cut into thin slices
- A few fresh mint leaves
- Ice cubes as desired
👩🍳 Preparation:
- Pour the well-chilled Polar Walk into a jug.
- Add the artisan lemonade for effervescence.
- Add the orange slices and lemon zest.
- Mix gently.
- Add a generous handful of ice cubes and a few mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
- Serve in large glasses and enjoy the freshness!
🍷 Why does it work?
Polar Verano highlights the finesse and freshness of Polar Walk. Its fruity, polar flavour blends perfectly with the sparkling sweetness of lemonade. Orange adds roundness and sunshine, while lemon enhances the liveliness. Finally, mint accentuates the icy sensation of this unique cocktail.
The result is a subtle balance between indulgence, lightness and freshness, which enhances red wine served chilled.
🍴 Food and cocktail pairing
Polar Verano is the perfect accompaniment to: Mediterranean tapas (mild chorizo, olives, tortilla), summer barbecues or for an original contrast, a platter of fresh cheeses such as feta or goat’s cheese.
A cocktail to share, like an invitation to walk together in the bitter polar cold… with a smile.
