Everyone still hot? Good. Beneto has a little post worth investigating. It covers drinks he is consuming in a hot, hot, hot Spain which makes a good follow-up to yesterday's post on Summer Cocktails.
Beneto details several drinks that are currently the hot ticket in Madrid. We have Kalimotxo - basically, Coca-cola and red wine blended fifty-fifty, typically without ice and its Sprite variation Pitilingorri. Then there is Tinto de Verano - a type of "spritzer" a mix of red wine (sometimes white) and Casera, a sweet soda water with a hint of citrus followed by Rebujito - a mix of Manzanilla sherry, ice and 7up and finally Zurracapote - Sangria made with lemon, sugar and cinnamon (without the brandy).
Some great links and background details make for a great post. I say, in this sticky/hot weather, lets go Spanish!
