Best Kalimotxo Recipes
CALIMOCHO (KALIMOTXO)
Calimocho, or kalimotxo, is a very popular Spanish cocktail that is served in many bars and prepared by Spanish youth during traditional 'botellon' parties. Calimocho originated in the Basque region of Spain but has spread throughout the entire country and to many other parts of the world. Coca-Cola is the 'authentic' cola for preparing calimocho, but any cola will work.

KALIMOTXO
Some might consider the kalimotxo (pronounced cal-ee-MO-cho) a guilty pleasure; I've received more than a few skeptical glances when I've ordered it at bars in New York. But I don't feel an iota of contrition when I drink this Basque-country classic. It couldn't be easier: equal parts red wine (some say the cheaper the better, but that's up to you) and cola. I like a squeeze of lemon juice for a little brightness, and maybe a slice of lemon or orange to dress it up. But purists might consider even those modest additions a little fussy. The overall effect is surprisingly sangria-esque, minus all that fruit-chopping and waiting, and wonderfully refreshing. If you can find cola made with cane sugar rather than corn syrup, all the better, but the drink is still fine with whatever you've got on hand. The soda's caffeine actually makes the kalimotxo a fine pick-me-up: an ideal afternoon drink when you know you've still got a long day, and night, ahead.

KALIMOTXO
I recently read that a pub trend in Spain is a drink called Kalimotxo (pronounced kal-ee-MO-cho), which is equal parts of red wine and carbonated cola added to a glass filled with ice. Some garnish with a lemon wedge, others don't. It's surprisingly pleasant and quite refreshing. Although it's a new trend in some regions, it's fast becoming an iconic pub offering, especially in the Basque region (though it's served throughout Spain). Some sites called it 'poor man's sangria', and I guess it's fair to say it's somewhat similar, though most sangria recipes have a far more complex fruity taste.
