The kalimotxo[1] (Basque pronunciation: [ka.li.mo.tʃo]) or calimocho[2] (Spanish pronunciation: [ka.li.ˈmo.tʃo]) is a drink consisting of equal parts red wine and a cola-based soft drink.[3][4]
Origin
[edit | edit source]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,[1] a playful combination of the two creators' nicknames, Kalimero and Motxongo.[5]
It has since become a classic of the Basque Country region[6] and in the rest of Spain in large part due to its simple mixture, accessibility of ingredients, and low cost.[7]
Other countries
[edit | edit source]The same mixture has different names in several countries:[8]
- Bambus (bamboo) — Croatia, Serbia[citation needed], North Macedonia[citation needed], and other Balkan countries[citation needed]
