Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn't thought

Kalimotxo. It’s red wine and cola in roughly equal parts, to taste. It’s a great way to salvage old wine that’s a day or two past drinkable, especially on a hot day.

I described it once on reddit in the before times, and someone called it a “shit red wine spritzer” and I think that’s kinda apt.

Otoh do not try mixing beer and wine it is awful. Truly truly awful.

Mead and an IPA is great though and called a "Braggot"

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That I can believe. I’ve only mixed them in the sense of generally making bad decisions in a night.

A few weeks ago I poured some cane sugar coke in a half-drunk glass of Port and all my friends looked at me like I was crazy when I said it wasn't half bad

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That tracks, but with port I feel like it’d be super sugary.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh for sure. Like a wine/cola syrup

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

In this same vein, cola and beer in equal proportions with a shot of amaretto tastes like snickers

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

50/50 Guinness and cola. It's called a Black Velvet and is indulgent and lovely.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I thought that said tastes like nickers, lol.

[–] quokka1@mastodon.au 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

@Lodespawn @EvilBit that sounds like a shortcut to a bad time

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The kalimotxo is actually pretty tame; half as potent as wine, so comparable to maybe a pale ale.

Can’t speak for that other madness though.

In my country we call it bamboo for some reason.

That’s interesting and weird! Guessing from your name, is it Slovenia?
