Cocktail Colin says:

If you're looking for an affordable cocktail that uses red wine as a base, you have some great options to consider! Based on the ratings and simplicity, the Callymucho (also known as Kalimotxo) stands out. This drink is a beloved cocktail in Spain, made by mixing equal parts cola and red wine over ice. With its balance of the sweet cola and the acidity of the wine, it creates a light, refreshing beverage that is easy to enjoy and perfect for gatherings. Plus, its minimal ingredients and straightforward preparation make it quite budget-friendly.

If you prefer something a bit more adventurous, you might enjoy the Jack's Blood. This cocktail blends the familiar sweetness of cola with the rich notes of red wine and the complexity of bourbon, all with a spicy kick from Tabasco sauce. It's an intriguing choice for those who want a unique twist in their drink, yet still affordable and not too complicated to prepare.

For a simple and refreshing option, the Red Cock offers a straightforward mix of cola and red wine, bringing a nice balance of flavors. These cocktails not only make use of red wine but also offer a range of tastes and complexities to suit different preferences, all while keeping things budget-friendly.
