Red wine and coke. It's called "calimocho" in Spain.

The weird thing? It's not bad! But it stains the hell outta your clothes, especially if you're wearing all white with red touches (for the running of the bulls in Pamplona), and you're dancing in bars and in the streets all night, and drunks are bumping into you, 'til the running starts at AM...

Sad thing is, when all there is to drink is beer, wine, and Coke, and it's hot outside, that's what I make myself. People look at me like I'm some kinda f--ing wino.
"No, really - they drink it in Spain this way!"
"Uh huh..."

(Red wine with Sprite or sparkling water is "tinto verano" - "summer red wine." It's actually VERY good - a sort of fake sangria.)

Ok, so my contribution isn't as heinously lame as some of my predecessors', but it's all I got....
