- 4 oz cola
- Ice cubes
- Orange slice for garnish optional
Instructions
- Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour the red wine into the glass first.

Notes
Pick a medium-bodied red wine - expensive wines aren't needed for this cocktail.
The ideal ratio is 1:1 wine to cola, but adjust to taste.
Keep both the wine and cola chilled before mixing.
This drink goes flat quickly, so make it right before serving.
Don't stir too much or the cola will lose its fizz.
Some people add a splash of brandy or rum for extra kick.
