Spanish Tinto De Verano - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (750 ml) bottle red wine (a cheap tempranillo works great, or any medium bodied red)
    2 liters lime flavored seltzer water
    2 cups sugar
    4 slices oranges (to garnish)
Preparation
    Fill 16 oz. glass about 1/3 of the way with wine.
    Mix in 1 tbsp sugar into wine.
    Add a few cubes ice.
    Top off with seltzer and mix. Taste.
    It will probably need more sugar, but i like to add it slowly. I've found there's a fine line between bitter and overly sweet when it comes to this drink. Add bit by bit, mixing and tasting as you go, until you have a refreshing summer drink.
    Garnish with an orange slice.
    Happy hunting!
