Spanish Wine and Cola Cocktail (cheers in 30 seconds)

Having a party and want a super quick and easy cocktail? No problem I have you covered. This recipe is as easy as pouring in the glass and presto you have a refreshing bubbly cocktail with a Spanish twist.

I first discovered this at one of my fave Spanish Tapas place in NYC called Toro (I highly recommend their Paella too). I love a refreshing cocktail  or two and get so excited for something different with a fizzy feel. They had this on the menu (traditionally called Kalimotxo) and when I read wine and soda I was intrigued and also curious how this combo could ever taste good together. It was love at first sip as the combo not only works – but is fantastically awesome.

You get the fruity grape taste from the wine, mixed with the caramel fizz and your mouth is dancing for more. I add my mint obsession twist (only thing that grows in my garden lol) and a twist of lime to brighten it up. Watch the video below and see how you to can be a cocktail master and make you and your guests impressed.
