Today I'm looking at a loosely connected history of wine based mixed drinks from Spain, or, at least Spain adjacent. Talking about Sangaree, Sangria, and Kalimotxo. Now, technically Sangaree was probably invented in England in the 1700's, but it feels Iberian somehow. Partially it's the name, partially it's the port, but, I don't know. From there we jump ahead about a hundred years to the 1963 World's Fair where by all accounts Sangria makes a splash at the Spain pavilion. What Sangria invented in the 60's? Uh, maybe. Some people claim Sangria is really part of a tradition of mixed sweetened wines going back to ancient Rome, and that "Sangria" is about a thousand years old, and maybe that's true. The thing is, I can't find any record of the name "Sangria" being used any time before the 60's. So, maybe the traditions that go into Sangria are ancient, I think the actual specific thing is pretty new. Meanwhile we bounce over to the Basque region to enjoy some Kalimotxo, which is red wine and coca cola mixed fifty fifty. Winey wine wine, let's goooooooo!

Don’t wine when people don’t follow the pun rule
Wine-no
Wine puns are in pour taste.
If there aren't any good wine puns down here I think we'll all be sangaree
that ahrange pour was beautiful
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.
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.
One would hope also coked up
That is when the very best cocktails are made you dont marry a woman you pulled of the street you get to know her you immerse yourself in her and then the beauty of love blossoms its the same with flavors dont bother trying to make something truly fantastic without tasting and understanding your ingredients and being smashed gives you the insight into booze you need to make a proper cocktail
Dont be so judgey bro.
You know the saying: History is written by the winos.

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.
Holy shit.

Not that long ago, like may be 10 years...
Wow, I didn’t think that this could get any worse for the goose, but here we are
@@reginabaptista7402 People often forget that blood sports involving animals, people, or both were (and still are in some places) very popular forms of entertainment for at least a few centuries to a millennium. Although there have always been at least a few that have been against it, only in the last few decades or so have more people been taking action against this cruel form of entertainment.
Spaniard here! Great video. I just wanted to add that sangria should ALWAYS be served with ice (or at least cold) and that Kalimotxo (the "tx" is like a "ch" in "chocolate") is sometimes mixed with a dash of blackberry liquor or "Licor 43", a spanish liquor made of differenr fruits and spices with a vanilla flavor. Try it, both give the drink a different feeling!
"ch" in "chocolate" isn't really useful since in english that's just tsh, and I'm pretty sure you mean like the H in Hanukkah.
@@vitriolicAmaranth no, it's like the Ch in chocolate or Church. I'm Basque btw
Last time I was this early, Greg was admitting he'd never had a job in a bar before.
Yeah actually now that I think about it, when did he stop doing that? I know he used to but I can't actually remember when that stopped being his intro

16:47. Reminds me about a story that a former co-worker of mine told us. She’s from South Korea originally, and didn’t realize that sangria was alcoholic, so she downed it like it was just “fancy juice” in her words. Needless to say, she had a fun night.
Greg singing “coke and wine” complete with dance seems to be the direct result of the previous drinks being so delicious.
I mean if you really think about it is just fruit punch with alcohol, one time i mixed a fruit punch caprisun with a leftover box wine and i said "This is literally just sangria"
From now on, alcohol shall forever be known as "Constitution Juice"

@D Hill Really? This is the venue in which you choose to die on the hill upon which you've chosen to die? Also it's kind of funny how you're trotting out the same arguments the NRA brings out after every mass casualty event for a public health crisis over an order of magnitude larger than 2A minus its first 13 words.
As the pandemic wears on, Greg's productions style is steadily becoming more and more unhinged and I, for one, am here for it! Also, loving both the Charlie Daniels and Bob's Burgers references Greg! :D
It reminds me of the "Just a Dash" style of filming, where it's less of an informational show, and it's more of a documented descent into madness with fun facts and tips along the way.

Gettin Linda Belcher vibes when he was singing about "coke and wine" 😂
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".
My wife lived in Spain in the early-mid 2000s, and I remember her telling me that the local teenagers would hang out in the playgrounds and get drunk off of wine mixed with coca-cola. We had no idea it was a legit drink. Cheers.
The getting drunk in the playgrounds its called Botellon literally means ( Big bottle)
as a child in an italian american family I'd always have red wine with diet coke, literally had no idea it was real drink with a name but literally everybody in my family drank it
In Balkan its called Bambus and it's drink from my childhood. We used to mix red wine and Coca-Cola in plastic bags. then we take the bottle, put the neck of the bottle in the bag where the mix is, close the neck in the bag with our hand so we can turn it upside down and pour back the wine and cola mix in the bottle. Everybody does it...it's like tradition.

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.
haha.. yeahh whole buckets with ice and sangria.. i love it during hot summers..
it means bloodletting
Sounds delicious. Easily adjustable.
Less added alcohol for eating outside on a hot day. More fruit and seltzer...
What are u calling a glass?
@@samlaine3315 it's usually 200 ml
Strawberries and limes make great additions to sangria. And then you can eat the booze-soaked strawberries when you're done. They're so good!
I love watching as greg get progressively more intoxicated as the episode goes on 😂 by the end it seems like he's having a really good time and I love it.
NGL, I read the thumbnail as "Warcrimes" at first and nearly did a spit-take.
Thats for a future channel

The trueest expression of the bourgeoisie
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.
I think I would like that more since I'm not a big Cola fan
Yeah in basque tx is pronounced ch so the drink name sounds exactly how you said
@@Spain456 yeah, but the tx (ch) is the sound you get in church.
Yes, a friend of mine who lives in Mallorca pronounces it that way. When he first told me about this drink, I said, “You must not use very good wine for that, right?” He replied, “The thing is, if you use better wine... it tastes better.” ;-)
oddly enough, Tinto De Verano was a cocktail on Venture Bros. Phantom Limb had Dr Girlfriend make it.
The gooses are still a thing, but not in Algorta. In a neighboring town called Lekeitio. It's on UA-cam. Lookup 'antzar eguna'. They use a very realistic fake goose now.
Isn't the point of a live one in that it tries to dodge?
@@DustWolphy sure, but it's also really gruesome
@@samsowden Apparently live geese were still used up through 2008...
I was at a buffet in Beijing and they had a tap for a Coke + wine combo as well as a Sprite + wine tap. Coke and wine knows no boundaries.
"I was born, a poor black child....."
"The Jerk". What a movie. If a drink of Coke and cheap Red Wine were personified, that drink would be that movie. Good choice, sir.
watching that is a good idea
I really love the fact that you do the research and give us history on everything
I had a few Spanish roommates when I lived in Ireland, they said Calimocho was most popular among teenagers. Makes sense given how sweet it is!
My grandmother always drinks red wine & coke on a hot Texas day! I thought she was absolutely insane, but it's nice to know she wasn't the original nutcase and she was getting this from somewhere.
Kalimotxo is pronounced cal-ee-mo-cho. With a "ch" sound like in the word "change". :)
Came here to say this.
It makes me cringe everytime he "pronounces" it
@@Van.Wolffen same
@Manfred von Richthofen Sí. Gure Esku Dago!
In Serbia it'd called Bambus, and is 1/1 the exact same thing :)
Greg this might be your strongest title card ever.
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!
PORTUGAL C******
In Germany it's called "Kalt Mushi" which translates directly to "Cold Pussy."
Cola-wine is really common throughout europe nowadays actually, a lot of young people drink it cause its easy to drink and, well, very effective
my recipe for "sangria" is to take a lemon a lime an orange, chop them up and put them in a jug with a bottle of my not so great home made wine, leave it overnight then drink it the next day mixed with sprite or something. It's a great way to use up the less than stellar home made vintages.
I used to drink this when I was a teenager in spain, we wouldnt even buy wine from glass bottles, the wine we used came in 1 litre cartons and it was barely usable for cookling... but it was less than 1 euro
Haha alcohol that comes in cartons to me seems to be a universal sign that you're getting that "1 euro/liter" quality
@stockart whiteman yeah seems so... so a new development that I just heard about in the US....Boxed vodka????
@stockart whiteman Not sure.. as I have never been there..I have seen cooking wine in the UK in carton but that is normally 2 to 4% alcohol the cartons in spain are full 13% wines 😅.. and the qualiry you get is the quality you get for £5 bottles in tesco/asda
@@champo976 depending on the hipster levels of the area, you will just about. Any liquid in a cardboard carton claiming to be recyclable and environmentally friendly. Pretty ridiculous to anyone who understands the realities of recycling.
Yeah treaded waterproof cardboard is impossible to recycle which is funny considering how recyclable glass bottles are in the end
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. Would love to see you try some of these drinks.
Thank you so much for sharing all these recipes! It's going to start getting almost 30⁰C this week where I live, and I think it'll be great to try some of these on my porch.
If you want to hear some Basque, I highly recommend the movie Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil. I think you'd love it.
From a spanish blacksmith, agree :)
I just did kalimotxo for my friends gothic horror dnd campaign. Highly recommend it with dry ice. Doesn’t dilute what little flavor there is, adds some bubbles back in. Also great for Halloween in a punch bowl because you basically end up with a boiling cauldron of blood. (That’s also very cheap to make)
"Not a JoJo reference."
Had me rolling! Lol
are you able to explain the reference? I havent seen jojo in ages and i cant really remember anything like that
maybe it's something from the, 7 or 8 manga bc i have watched all of the anime and most of the pt6 manga and still dont recognize this
kalimotxos are severely underrated. glad you gave it some attention to a new audience who may have never had it
I’m very happy to see the Kalimotxo / Kalimocho on your show! That is something we drink a lot in my town on nights out! Very typical simple drink in northern Spain (Cantabria and Basque at least)
Because of Gotlib, I thought Kalimotxo was an American drink. You know, Coca-Cola, USA, Superman meets Super Dupont to save the Californian wineries... I was sure it had an American name too, like The George Washington or something.
Greg!! This friggin background music is making me want to dance. And drink. And dance. And grow a swarthy muuustache.
I'm trying to place what it's a cover of and it's driving me nuts!
EDIT: is it the Critical Role theme?
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. For science I've tried two samples so far and decided to report my findings while I am still able to type full sentences.
"Captain Aubrey, I am with you!" This line alone has me sold on this drink. If I could have Preserved Killick serve this to me with soused hogs face and a pot of coffee on deck, I would be in heaven.
The devil went down to Iberia he was lookin' for a wine to drink...

And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you what"
"I guess you didn't know it
But I'm a heavy drinker too

But give the devil his due
I'll bet a tumbler of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you."
Haha, this is great

And the devil deals the cards
And if you win you'll get this shiny tumbler made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul...
Four minutes in and I'm wondering about the Townsend's tie-in with all the nutmeg talk.
a cross over episode between the two would be pretty damn cool.
That would be super wonderful! Greg drinking peroid drinks in the cabin with Townsends and Mr. Antlers from above Greg's bar
Yes, and Tasting History
have you ever considered doing a collab with the whiskey tribe?
you have so much respect for and are so educational about bar craft and alcohol and that falls perfectly in line with their philosophies. your two channels coming together on your love of drinking would be glorious!
I just made the sangaree but substituted the syrup for orgeat and by god, it's the perfect Christmas drink! It's like a mince pie in a glass and yes the nutmeg makes the drink. Every time you bring the glass up to your mouth to drink and you breathe in the aroma it's pure Christmas. Very enjoyable
Although every other sangaree recipe I've seen does not contain orange juice so with the orange anf orgeat I think I can give it a name... The night before christmas
“The unladen airspeed of a swallow” 🤣🤣
African or Eurpoean?
For those with an Aldi nearby: they have a brand of wine called Winking Owl. It is typically on the sweeter side, but very enjoyable to drink, but the wild part is that (locally) it only runs $2.89/btl. Crazy cheap, but it is tasty and would likely be a nice starting point for something like this.
A Spanish friend of mine was confused by the adoration that people outside of Spain have for sangria. She said “eet’s joost wine and fruit.” But I would say that it’s more than the sum of its parts.
I would also recommend a Spanish wine drink called “Tinto de Verano” which means summertime red wine. It’s basically wine with lemon soda and fresh fruit. Super refreshing.
i make a similar drink here in OZ i mix a cheap red with orange mango soda, lots of ice. great for an Australian summer

Kalimotxo is a massively popular beverage in Chile. While traveling there I found a lot of older Chilean men really liked it.
Pero le decimos Jote, which one is like a vulture
I made the sangria for my mom and she loved it! Thanks Greg!
Thanks to this channel making cocktails has become one of my quarantine hobbies. The other day I was making a whiskey sour. I had a major hand-eye coordination meltdown, completely overshot the shaker with the jigger, and tossed most of the whiskey on the counter. The student has become the master.
Best combinations by far. Tinto de verano: red wine + La Casera (sweet, mostly flavorless soda), replaceable with Seven Up or Sprite. Rebujito, fino or manzanilla sherry + Seven Up
I so appreciate you especially when you do things that other people are like are you okay the whole making a rhyme and then dancing to it is such a me thing as well so you're not alone in you're goofiness I'm totally appreciating everything you're doing I've been trying to figure out how to make content that I would enjoy making so that I would continue to do it so thank you for making drinking your favorite drinks in the middle of the day not a big deal.
Been a minute since I clicked open one of these tbh, lifes been weird. But that intro had me cracking up so hard. Glad to see you're still putting out great content.
Here in Spain When my friends and I make Sangria, sometimes we also add Peche (Peach licor) and Cuantro. But again, we do it in 5liters buckets with 1kg bags of sugar and half a grocery store worht of oranges, so.
See, this just makes me want to, when I go to the grocery store tomorrow, buy a magnum of cheap red and some Coke and spend tomorrow day drinking.
So, on behalf of my wasted Saturday to-be, I thank you.
I’ve had a rough week and am eating dinner while watching this with a whisky coke. Thank you for the laughs and relaxation.
great video. going to try these drinks out for thanksgiving.
For another red wine based “cocktail” please try out the “cheeky vimto.” Its half and half red wine and blue wkd.
Socttish favourite which tastes exactly like the soft drink vimto 😊
Red wine and coke is quite popular in Hungary as well, along with spritzers.
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.
I love Sangria! I have a recipe book for it with almost 30 different recipes for all types wine red, rose, and white. It even has a few food pairing recipes.

The thumbnail said "wine crimes." I'm concerned.
And after you watched?
he used what looked like a decent wine for Kalimotxo, that's a war crime. Kalimotxo is only made with cheap wine sold on cartons
This was the best in-video ad beggining I've ever seen (kinda outstays its welcome afterwards, but good for you man!)
When the boys and I make sangria we usually add oranges, apples, pears, a couple of cinnamon sticks and rum, plus lemon and orange juice. So good
The Power Puff Girls clip was on point 👌
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.
The kali is a Basque drink! I’m from the Basque Country part of the US (western Nevada, the Great Basin) and it’s a huge drink here. The Picon Punch is a pretty good drink too
Growing up we never put orange juice in our sangria, just sliced oranges, and whatever other fruit we had around. 3-1 wine to brandy, 4-1 liquid to sugar. A couple of cinnamon sticks. And then us kids had ours mixed with ginger ale.
Edit: my mom is from Madrid. This does NOT mean ours is the correct recipe, but it's an authentic version of sangria. One of many authentic recipes.
Let’s be honest here: day drinking has been your thing since corona happened 😉
I’d say it’s been all our thing since roundabout St. Patrick’s Day.
In that case it's been Covid since 2012.
Certainly it's become my mother's way to cope (at 87).
I started shaking cocktails specifically to quench corona despair, so I guess you're right
I'll agree...
Ever since Mexican beer became widely available, I've been day drinking.
"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.
for the kalimotxo, I’m a big fan of adding some lime and an aggressive chili-salt of the rim! and I use a very light blackberryish red wine. much fun to be had!
Just in time for the second round of stay at home orders. Thanks! I prefer the white wine version of sangria, with peaches and raspberries. Think I'll make that soon
I am 15 and have an assignment due in an hour . Why the hell am I here .
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.
Make micheladas for the morning after. Crap beer, lime juice, salt, hot sauce. Like a poor mans Bloody Mary.
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.
Crap beer is delicious in beer-battered fish, or any kind of recipe that takes one cup of beer.
I made this Sangaree Recipe and it is AWESOME. And my husband who does not like Sangria drinks- really liked this one, he said it had more "bite" probably because of the ratio of the cognac in it. The Fresh nutmeg added ALOT. we tried with and without. It was so easy to make too.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
Instead of club soda, I went to a party that used Prosecco. It was fabulous.
My basque friend taught me about Calimoxo, absolutely delicious. I tried to tell my friend about it but he already knew the drink, from his greek grandparents who call it "Wine spottie ottie"
Still not used to seeing Greg in a different colored flannel.
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.
Two notes on Sangria. I always fortify mine with brandy and sometime some decent orange liqueur. Also, adding vermouth to your sangria really adds a lot of depth of flavor.
It's cool to see Kalimotxo in this episode. Last year I thought I invented mixing coke and wine while stuck at home during the pandemic. I guess I'm secretly Spanish.
