The calimocho^[1]orkalimotxo (Basque pronunciation: [ka.li.mo.tʃo], Spanish pronunciation: [ka.li.ˈmo.tʃo]) is a drink consisting of equal parts red wine and a cola-based soft drink.^[2][3]

Red wine and cola were combined in Spain as early as the 1920s, but Coca-Cola was not widely available. That changed in 1953, when the first Coca-Cola factory opened in Spain. The combination was given various names, until its mass usage at a festival in Algorta led to it being christened the kalimotxo,^[4] a playful combination of the two creators' nicknames, Kalimero and Motxongo.^[5]

It has since become a classic of the Basque Country region^[6] and in the rest of Spain in large part due to its simple mixture, accessibility of ingredients, and low cost.^[7]

The same mixture is known as katembainSouth Africa, cátembeinMozambique, bambus (bamboo) in Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia and other Balkan countries, jote (black vulture) in Chile, ColaRotinAustria, houba (mushroom) in the Czech Republic, vadász (hunter) in Hungary and jesus juiceinArgentina.^[8]
