Kalimotxo Sangria


This is a combination of 2 Spanish drinks based around wine.  Everyone knows about sangria but kalimotxo is something I stubbled upon on the internet, it's a mix of red wine and coke which at first sounded disgusting but I had to try it and it ended up being pretty good.  This would be great for a little get together with some friends especially since its pretty low alcohol content.  I'd recommend using mexican coke for this (and for any cocktail that uses coke for that matter).  It's made with normal sugar instead of corn syrup; it's not any healthier than american coke, but it's not sickly sweet.  A lot of grocery stores, particularly in areas with high latino/hispanic populations, carry it. You'll normally find it in glass bottles that are a little taller/ stretched out than normal glass coke bottles (when in doubt just check the ingredient list to see that it says sugar instead of corn syrup).

2 parts red wine
1 part pomegranate juice
2 parts Mexican Coke
frozen cherries

1. mix together all of the ingredients in a pitcher. Serve with ice.
