It’s not summer without a tinto de verano

By Rebekah Peppler, The New York TimesPARIS — If you’re convinced that red wine should be reserved for the colder, more sweater-worthy months, consider the tinto de verano.A fizzy, ruby-hued combination of red wine and citrusy soda served over ice, it’s to summer in Spain what a chilled bottle of rosé is to l’été in Provence.“It’s a fun, easy beach or pool drink,” said Sandra Cordero, the owner of Gasolina and the soon-to-open Bar Xuntos in Los Angeles. “I wouldn’t drink a tinto de verano below 80 degrees.”To make it, start by choosing the right tinto or red wine. The Spanish traditionally opt for more robust and tannic table wines: Look to tempranillo, garnacha or monastrell grape varieties, or ask your neighborhood wine shop to recommend a bottle. The short ingredient list means each element strongly influences the drink, so Cordero suggests picking a bottle you’d have on its own.Pour your chosen (and preferably chilled) tinto over ice, then cut the wine with a citrus-forwar...

You can make no-churn ice cream at home and the orange-tinged hot fudge and butterscotch sauces to top it all off.The no-churn approach is an America’s Test Kitchen hack that lets you create deeply vanilla, velvety ice cream without an ice cream maker — just a blender and, of course, your freezer. Here’s the ice cream how-to, plus two flavor variations and four recipes for toppings, including a butterscotch sauce for caramel-ophobes, which calls for cooking brown sugar and butter together to give the sauce its complexity, sans candy thermometers.Also in the mi...
