1. Kalimotcho

You can’t miss the wine in Spain. The Kalimotcho is a mixture of red wine and cola.

Ingredients

1 glass of red wine (Tempranillo or Riojo)

Low sugar cola

Ice

Slice of lemon

Type of glass: Collins

Preparation: Fill a collins glass with ice. Add the red wine and coke, and quickly stir the drink. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve with a straw.

2. Coquito

Coquito is a version of Christmas punch. Since its arrival in Puerto Rico from Spain, today it has evolved into a cocktail of rum and creamy coconut cream.

Ingredients

1 to 1 1/2 c. white rum, to taste

2 cans of coconut cream (such as Coco Lopez)

2 cans of evaporated milk

1 egg yolk (optional)

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, more for garnish

Cinnamon sticks, for serving

Preparation: In a blender, add 1 cup rum and all ingredients up to the nutmeg. Blend until well combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. At this point, taste the mixture and add more rum if desired.

Pour the coquito into a large, tightly covered container and refrigerate until well chilled. To serve, shake the jar well to disperse the cinnamon and pour into small glasses.

Garnish with grated nutmeg and cinnamon sticks.

3. Lemonade and beer
