To make calimocho, pour out the cheapest red wine plonk you can find, then add Coca-Cola. Seems bizarre at first, but soon you’ll find it to be quite refreshing. In warm weather, you’ll find students mixing it in the streets. Other versions using Fanta and Sprite are to be found also, referred to names such as pitilingorri, kasimotxo, caliguay or fantapoxo. This very cheap drink has conquered the festival of San Fermin, in Pamplona, the capital of Navarre, which each year welcomes 3 million thirsty revellers of none-too-discerning palates.
You can also try a less "studenty" version of these long drinks: the tinto de verano. Popular in Andalusia, this drink is a mix of red wine and lemonade (gaseosa), served iced and with a slice of lemon.
