CALIMOCHO (KALIMOTXO)
Calimocho, or kalimotxo, is a very popular Spanish cocktail that is served in many bars and prepared by Spanish youth during traditional 'botellon' parties. Calimocho originated in the Basque region of Spain but has spread throughout the entire country and to many other parts of the world. Coca-Cola is the 'authentic' cola for preparing calimocho, but any cola will work.

KALIMOTXO
Some might consider the kalimotxo (pronounced cal-ee-MO-cho) a guilty pleasure; I've received more than a few skeptical glances when I've ordered it at bars in New York. But I don't feel an iota of contrition when I drink this Basque-country classic. It couldn't be easier: equal parts red wine (some say the cheaper the better, but that's up to you) and cola. I like a squeeze of lemon juice for a little brightness, and maybe a slice of lemon or orange to dress it up. But purists might consider even those modest additions a little fussy. The overall effect is surprisingly sangria-esque, minus all that fruit-chopping and waiting, and wonderfully refreshing. If you can find cola made with cane sugar rather than corn syrup, all the better, but the drink is still fine with whatever you've got on hand. The soda's caffeine actually makes the kalimotxo a fine pick-me-up: an ideal afternoon drink when you know you've still got a long day, and night, ahead.

Steps:
- Pit all cherries, leaving a few whole for garnish.
- In a saucepan, mix the cherries, sugar, and water. Bring heat to medium high and stir, slowly reducing the liquid. Skim the surface of the syrup once in a while.
- Once the liquid has reached a syrup-like consistency, about 25 minutes, remove from heat. Set aside to cool for 1 hour. Put in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator.
- For serving: In a frosted mug, add a scoop of ice cream, pour 1 tablespoon of the cherry mixture and top with coke. Garnish with fresh whole cherries.
- Cook's Note: For a drink, remove the vanilla ice cream and add a splash of spiced rum.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy cherries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries. Just thaw them before using.
- Use a good quality cola. A flat or watered-down cola will ruin the drink.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice or lemon juice for a refreshing twist.
- Serve the kalimotxo with ice for a cool and refreshing drink.
