The problem with researching the history of alcoholic beverages and concoctions, is that more often than not, the people were probably drunk when they invented them.

[@indianasquatchunters]

I love how people have been debating sangria. I highly doubt that even if we had a definitive answer that John Doe made it in this year that it would be wrong. Adding wine, sugar or any sweetener and fruit together is a no brainer. I’m sure multiple people in multiple places independently came to this conclusion. I mean if you got some not so good fruit and not so good wine you can make something bigger than the sum of its parts easily.

Hola!! Sangria is a party drink so we always make a lot of it. The recipe of my family is: 1 liter of wine 1/2 liter orange or lemon*(sorry) 1/2 liter sprite (soda)* 1 glass of vermouth 1/2 glass of quantreau 1/2 glass of rum 1/2 glass of vodka (adjust if you want less alcohol.*) 1 shot black berry liqour 1 shot Angostura apple slices orange slices Peach slices* lemon-lime slices 1 cinnamon stick sugar to taste (1-2 spoons) Let it rest the night before. Multiply measures if you want more quantity. ... the fruit is delicious. On the other hand, "sangria" doesn't mean "blood", it means bleeding.

I was introduced to kalimotxo at lunchtime during an internship in Spain. The whole trip took all the pretension out of wine for me, no longer feeling like it was something I had to sit down and think about to drink, but just another beverage to enjoy any way you like. As my old chef used to say, "If you like it, it's good wine".

Just to clarify, the Algorta goose thing is sligtly different, it's done in a port, not a bridge, we do also find animal cruelty wrong and stoped using an actual goose a long time ago, ... so traditionaly a goose was tied to the middle of a rope by its neck, two groups of like 5 people will take the each end of the rope to an oposite side of a dock, like 7 or 10 meters above the water, a person will be at the bottom on a boat an the people on top will loose the rope so that the goose is reachable, he'll grab to the body of the goose and then the people on top jank the rope so that both, goose and person will be flung up and down repeatedly crushing against the water below, the one who manages to stand the beating until the neck of the goose breaks ans it's decapitated, will have goose for dinner that night, but nowadays it's done with a ball inside a bag and the one who stands more beatings against the water will earn a price, i think it's still food.

[@garrisonmatthews8412]

If you swap the Coke for something like Sprite or Ginger Ale, you get a drink called Tinto de Verano. It is a super popular drink during Spanish summers. Tinto de Verano roughly means Summer Red Wine. Kalimotxo is also known in Spain as the Poor Man's Sangria. I don't speak Basque, but when I lived in Spain I always heard it pronounced like Cali-Mo-Cho. Loved this episode, as always.

In Portugal coke and wine is called "catembo", but we only do it when the wine is not very good and we do not put ice in it, if we don't have coke we put 7up but the name changes and i can´t recall it. (7up ca be added to beer to make a "panachê" if you add coke it is called a "diesel".) Also every house in Portugal has it's own sagueria recepie, usualy red or white wine, oranje juice, sugar, any fruit available (oranges, aples, pears), a cinnemon stick or cinnemon powder, 7up and a little bit of an hard drink like vodka or brandy. With Port or Madeira beeing one of the ingredients of the first drink i would say this episode is more Portuguese inspired than spanish. Love your work, Cheers!

Old people here in chile used to drink calimotxo, but here it's called "jote", as a reference to a black feathered buzzard with a red head. We also drink "borgoña", which is basically sangria but with canned or macerated strawberries and nothing else. Another one is chicha or wine with toasted flour, i don't know if that is the correct name of harina tostada in english, and also malt with condensed milk. The terremoto is another party cocktail, it contains pipeño wine, wich is between grape chicha and wine, if im not mistaken, pineapple ice cream and granadine, some people spike it with fernet or even pisco.

Definitely love the brandy Sangaree, but I found it a bit sweet for my taste (although it is correct for the time period). I switched up the simple for 3/4 teaspoon of coconut sugar and it is kind of fantastic that way. The coconut sugar is hard to completely dissolve, but totally worth it (spirited stir or dry shake to incorporate) - think of the taste of not quite but almost burned toasted marshmallow with a suggestion of coconut.

I don't bother measuring the juice) cran-grape juice (not straight cranberry, the wine brings out the grape and it tastes amazing) -1/2 shot vodka -1/2 shot sweet or medium red wine (Chateaux Morrisette Red Mtn Laurel [OR white mtn laurel, but red is my favorite], to be precise)

You've got to pronounce it like "kalimotcho" if you want to say it right, A couple more notes: - At some other parts of Spain it's popular to mix in a little bit of blackberry liquor - The taste is perfect for what it is. This is a drink to get you drunk, and keep drinking for hours. Perfect for music festivals, if they ever organize another. Probably 95% of the kalimotxo that's ever been consumed in Spain was from a 1L plastic glass. Not a fancy drink, but a wildly popular one.

I recently canceled my Bright Cellars boxes only because at the time I signed up was mid March before April happened. April’s lockdown meant no more parties and I ended up drinking the reds alone and cooking with the white wines. It’s a good service that’s very intuitive and with all the discounts, my first box of 6 was like 60$ instead of 150$.

[@ashleyh7073]

Using that Sanford and Son clip made me respect you even more!🤣 Every time my mom and I have sangria we're always quoting that episode and laughing. I'm glad to know we're not the only ones.

[@julielineberry1852]

Not going to lie, was super weirded out by coke and red wine when my Spanish friend had me try it. It's actually delicious and perfect for cheap, easy day drinking

[@peterstefansky2705]

Awesome video, I regularly make Sanagree for our 18th century tavern and it is a favorite. Our recipe is slightly different probably because it has more of a punch vibe which is pretty typical of 18th century cocktails.

[@BackwardsPancake]

Cool to see red wine & coke being acknowledged somewhere. It's certainly got more nuance than you'd think at first glance. From my own experience, I'd recommend: - Use the cheapest red wine you can get. Rule of thumb is, if it comes in a glass bottle, it's too fancy. - Unless getting hammered is your primary goal, lower the ratio of wine to coke, around 1:4 or less is good. That way, it retains more of the interesting carbonation factor. - If you're bored of coke, substitute with pepsi. Creates a different profile, which I think I might actually prefer.

[@UserName-pi1ml]

In my opinion you should start a curated bit of h2d with playlists of 1. Pre prohibition 2. Spring 3. Summer 4. Autumn 5. Winter in terms of appropriate cocktails and then have thematic or holiday additions to said categories because you're such a talented and versed bartender itd make it much easier for a novice such as myself to navigate and menu them plus add for a streamlined approach to non tv/film or media related drinks, just a thought

Let’s be honest here: day drinking has been your thing since corona happened 😉

[@kaptainskarlett9927]

I’d say it’s been all our thing since roundabout St. Patrick’s Day.

[@Draukagrissah]

Something I think you should always add to any mulled wine, aged wine mix, or sangria (especially sangria you've had sitting for a couple days), a big pinch of salt! Helps mellow out some of those tannins, really kicks those citrus flavors up a notch, and even helps with the maceration quite a bit!

[@MrMajorThunderbox]

The first time I'd heard of Kalimotxo was when the Men in Blazers covered the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona and had it on air and after I came back from a Spain study abroad and started drinking it all my friends thought I made it up! lmao this episode makes me feel so validated

[@MajorSrb95]

For some reason, in my country the last drink is called "bamboo"...and I got violated by it continuously during my adolescent years 😂😂😂

Interesting! What country is that? A Bamboo is a classic cocktail, kind of a "Sherry" version of a manhattan invented in Japan typically

Hey HowToDrink! As a recent 21 year old, and a member of a fraternity, I have some interest in bar tending, and figured making drinks for my brothers would be a good way to get some practice. I really like your videos, and they have been a big hit, but I was wondering something. Could you make a video on how to make mixed drinks with “poor man drinks” most of the brothers like the mixed drinks, but don’t want to spring for “expensive stuff” being anything that costs more than like 18$ 😅. If you could make some frat suggestions, that’d be sweet (wood?). Also, I’ve always wondered how to make crap beer taste better.

[@kedrickswain6509]

Make micheladas for the morning after. Crap beer, lime juice, salt, hot sauce. Like a poor mans Bloody Mary.

[@raideurng2508]

For mixed drinks, having vodka and rum cover most of your bases. Platinum 7x, Seagrams, or Burnetts are low/mid shelf. Just avoid the bottom shelf discount jugs of motor coolant. The easiest way to save money is to do the old school tactic of waiting for things to be on sale and stocking up, especially from the warehouse style places. Take a peek at the website and see whats on sale. And for crap beer, there may be some dark magic recipes out there to save it, but I've never found any that work.

[@yudithcaron8053]

Crap beer is delicious in beer-battered fish, or any kind of recipe that takes one cup of beer.

[@ijustworkhere1008]

I did a year abroad in Asturias in 2019, and I remember being invited to a “hazing” event for new students where everyone was drinking from these huge cups. I asked one guy what it was and he told me it was equal parts wine & coke, there they called it “tinto de verano”. Suffice to say I immediately ordered myself a G&T and tried not to think about it too much

[@samipratt1279]

Think your guy had it wrong - kalimoxo and tinto de verano are different drinks, even if they both follow the basic formula of red wine + carbonated mixer.

[@Tlizerz]

The carbonated mixer in a tinto de verano is usually citrus soda, like Sprite. I’ve heard lemon Fanta is amazing but have yet to try it myself.

[@markokaplic9328]

Kalimoxto in croatia is called bambus and we drink it alot Also gemist which is white wine and carbonated water which is culture drink

[@MagicianFairy]

"They in a bind and are way behind and are willing to make a deal." So they made a bet with a fiddle player? A drink that turns you into Christopher Walkin. Now i have to try it.

[@jjdlux]

Oh boy, Sangría and Kalimotxo. As some people have pointed out already, the tx in kalimotxo is pronounced as 'ch', similar to how you would say 'church'. In Spain there is a similar drink called Tinto de Verano (directly translates as Summer Red Wine) which is red wine and sprite or ginger ale, pretty popular too. Also, as you clearly noticed, all drinks featured in the video are incredibly good at making you drunk, which helps their popularity as they are a cheap and decent drinks for parties. Nice episode as always!

Back when I lived in Lanzarote (a small Spanish speaking desert island off the coast of West Africa) I was introduced to the kalimoxo (pronounced calimocho) by a bemulleted bartender from Bilbao. I didn't order it but asked his favourite drink and that was what he produced with the words "only up, no down, never hangover", that was enough for me and by the end of my stint on that island I reckon I drank more kalimoxo than water (which is easy when the drink comes to three euro in a desert). The only difference I can mention is the inclusion of (and I apologise if I spell it incorrectly) liquor de mora, a blueberry liquor, adding sweetness and body to the drink. Each time a glass was emptied we would repeat, "que vivo el vino!", what is life without wine!. I miss Spanish day drinking.

[@blackdog6969]

I want to tell the comment section and possibly you if you still check this vid about my unholy concoction I made while hammered when I was 18. It was 2 shots Fireball (cinnamon whiskey), 2 shots normal whiskey (jack assuming everyone sees that as whiskey), 2 shots vodka, a splash of honey bourbon, a shot of red wine and finish the glass with beer. I can't remember the size of the glasses we used but everyone loved it and passed out after 2-3, I recreated it the best I could last week at a party and it was a favourite. Sounds worse than it is. Tastes decent, just puts you flat on your arse. I called it the "Kiss of Death" and I think it lived up to its name. If anyone gives it a go (the measurements are a bit janky, mix to your taste) but I want to know what you all think of it. I was quite proud of myself

[@quinnarends4204]

I have to say, I have never heard of a Kalimotxo before. Now, its one of my favorite things to make at home.
