What is an affordable cocktail with the base of red wine?
Cocktail Colin says:
If you're looking for an affordable cocktail with a base of red wine, the Callymucho stands out as a perfect choice. Its origins in the Basque Country, Spain, where it's also known as Kalimotxo, highlight its popularity and ease of preparation. The cocktail is made with equal parts of cola and red wine, simply mixed over ice. This combination might seem unusual at first, but the sweetness of cola balances out the acidity of red wine, creating a tangy and slightly sweet beverage that's both refreshing and delightful.
Another great affordable option is the Red Cock. It is a simple yet enjoyable mixture of cola and red wine served in a highball glass. The approachable taste profile, with cola’s familiar sweetness tempering the tannins of red wine, makes it suitable for casual occasions and easy to prepare without breaking the bank. Garnishing with a strawberry can add an extra touch of flair.
Both cocktails bring out the versatility of red wine in mixology and are cost-effective, enjoyable options for any social gathering. Cheers to delightful and budget-friendly sipping!
