Kalimotxo Mule

Kalimoxto

The Moscow Mule meets Spain’s classic Kalimoxto.

Spain’s classic combo of red wine and cola gets a refreshing boost with bright, spicy ginger syrup in this riff from Nashville’s Vandyke Bed and Beverage. “I’ve always had an obsession with the Kalimotxo [aka Calimocho],” says bartender Freddy Schwenk. “I thought one way to add intrigue to the cocktail would be to fuse the flavors with a Moscow Mule. Turns out swapping the vodka for a nice Tempranillo and adding a kick of ginger is actually delightful.”

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. red wine (Vandyke uses Tempranillo)
  • 3/4 oz. ginger syrup
  • 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
  • Cola (Vandyke uses Coca-Cola)
  • Tools:shaker, strainer
  • Glass:highball
  • Garnish:mint bouquet and a lime wheel

Preparation

Shake the first 3 ingredients with ice, then strain into an ice-filled glass and top with cola. Garnish.

Ginger SyrupCombine fresh ginger juice with an equal amount of sugar by weight, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bottle and refrigerate, using within 2 weeks.
