The kalimotxo (Basque pronunciation: [ka.li.mo.tʃo]) or calimocho (Spanish pronunciation: [ka.li.ˈmo.tʃo]) 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.
