I have red wine and tonic. What can I do?

If you have red wine and tonic water on hand, you're in for a treat! One excellent option would be to make yourself a Romanian Cooler. This cocktail uniquely blends the warm, herbaceous notes of red vermouth with the rich, fruity flavors of sweet red wine, all balanced by the crisp bitterness of tonic water. It’s typically served in a highball glass, and the result is a deeper, more complex taste profile that's perfect for a leisurely evening drink. Simply shake the ingredients together and enjoy this refreshing and slightly tangy cocktail.

Another simpler yet equally delightful option is the Red Cock cocktail. In this blend, the familiar and comforting flavors of cola mix perfectly with the fruity notes of red wine, and although traditionally served with cola, the tonic can add a nice bubbly and slightly bitter twist to balance the sweetness. Serve this in a highball glass with a 2:1 ratio of tonic to red wine for a refreshing and easy-to-enjoy beverage. Garnishing with a strawberry or a citrus twist can elevate the experience even further.

Both cocktails offer unique takes on utilizing red wine with tonic water, providing you with a choice between more intricate flavor layers or a simpler, casual refreshment.
