The kalimotxo () or calimocho () 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.
