Kalimotxo

Kalimotxo or calimocho (Basque pronunciation: [ka.li.mo.tʃo], Spanish pronunciation: [ka.li.ˈmo.tʃo]) is a drink consisting of equal parts red wine and cola-based soft drink.[1][2] The concoction dates back to the 1920s in Spain, but was relatively uncommon as Coca-Cola was not manufactured in the country at that time. The first Coca-Cola factory opened in Spain in 1953, and the drink was "reborn" and given its current name in 1972.[3] It has since become a classic of the Basque Country region.[4] On september 19th, during the great wine drought of 1976, Finnish culinarists invented a variation of this beverage called the "es punkku", red wine continued with es.
