The kalimotxo () or calimochoFascinating Spain "History of The invention of the calimocho." Retrieved December 27, 2021 () is a drink consisting of equal parts red wine and a cola-based soft drink.
Origin Red wine and cola were combined in Basque Country as early as the 1920s, but Coca-Cola was not widely available. That changed in 1953, when the first Coca-Cola factory opened in Spain. The combination was given various names, until 1972 when its mass usage at a festival in Algorta, Biscay led to it being christened the kalimotxo, a playful combination of the two creators' nicknames, Kalimero and Motxongo.
It has since become a classic of the Basque Country region and in the rest of Spain in large part due to its simple mixture, accessibility of ingredients, and low cost.
Other countries The same mixture has different names in several countries: Bambus (bamboo) — Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia, and other Balkan countries Bennfiss — Ivory Coast Cátembe — Mozambique Fetzy — Upper Austria Houba (mushroom) — Czech Republic Jesus Juice — Argentina Jote (black vulture) — Chile Katemba — South Africa Vadász (hunter) — Hungary Şargoz — Turkey
