National Mulled Wine day is March 3rd. If you feel like warm, spiced wine… fine. We don’t. But that’s not to say we’re not willing to try adulterated wine. A Taste of Home shared this:
“If you say Spain to most people, the beverage that jumps to mind is sangria. But the reality is that Spanish people do not drink a lot of sangria.”
“Instead, Spaniards opt for a different type of cocktail made with wine and soda, the most famous of which is the kalimotxo. A kalimotxo (or calimocho) is a mix of red wine and Coca-Cola.“
Leftover wine? Or wine that wasn’t so great to begin with? Here you go.
