Calimocho




So typically when you think of the word cocktail you do not associate Coca-Cola do you? Well, in Spain the "calimocho" exists to challenge this idea of classiness. Calimocho is half coca-cola and red wine served over ice. It is extremely popular in Spain and especially among the youthful drinkers. I think a similar parallel and functional youth beverage in the U.S. would be Red bull and Vodka or something of the sort because it energizes with 1/2 of its ingredients and intoxicates with the remaining portion. Why does a Calimocho sound so disgusting though? Soft drinks and liquor go well together but wine and sodas? This is definitely a beverage that I will have to try for myself at a club in Espana.

This looks both disgusting and intriguing.
