Apparently Sangria is out and this red wine and cola cocktail is very much 'in' when visiting Spain and the surroundings. At least that's what many gourmet guides say, Kalimoxto is all the rage.
Originally from the Spanish region of Basque country, it became more and more popular due to tourist demand, over the last 5 years.
To me this is very funny, because this combination is also something done in Romania but only in the very poor and uneducated areas, and widely frowned upon. It's considered something done in bad taste and a waste of wine. :)
Recipe sources and more info: Saveur and Huffpost.
Last year: nothing.
Two years ago: nothing.
Three years ago: nothing.
Four years ago: Tirokafteri (Feta cheese spread) (Greek and Northern Macedonian).
Five years ago: Cherry brownie cake.
Six years ago: Obazda and Gouda pumpernickel party rounds (German-style).
Seven years ago: Turkey steaks in pink champagne sauce.

Ingredients (for 2 servings):
- 100 ml cola
- 100 ml rose wine or red wine
Just mix the two together, straight out of the fridge. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately. I won't judge (too much) if you like it, though I personally don't (probably also because I don't like plain Cola either) :))
