Let’s kick off this weekend with a cocktail! How about a little vino and cola? Mixed?? Like, in the same glass?! That’s right, you heard me.
I know it defies all logic, common sense, and good taste. But you’ve gotta try it. Here’s what you need to get the weekend started right.
2 parts cola
1 part red wine
1 dash of bitters
1 slice of orange for garnish
Start with a rocks glass full of, well, rocks (also known as ice). Pour two parts cola over ice.
And top it off with one part red wine. Any old red will do.
Add a dash of bitters and mix well. Garnish with a slice of orange. Don’t skip out on the bitters, if you can help it. It really ties it all together. Kind of how ribbon transforms a shoe box and wrapping paper into a gift.
Ahhhh, is it happy hour yet?

What an interesting combo! Honestly, Coca-Cola and red wine are two of my favorite beverages, so I don’t see how I wouldn’t enjoy this. Very clever!
Give it a try and enjoy!
I have been mixing red wine and coke for years. I never heard of anyone else doing it before, but I knew I couldn’t be the only one because it’s so simple and delicious. The orange is a good idea and I also hadn’t thought of adding bitters. Great site!
Thank you, Erin!
I have to say it sounds iffy but you sure make it look tasty!

In Spain, this is called “Calimocho” or ” Kalimotxo”…..ummm, love it!!
Was just about to post this. When I was in Pamplona for the festival, everyone would siesta on the ground with an empty bottle of Coke next to them.
Love this image. I can totally see it.
Ooooh, good to know! Thanks!
I usually mix red wine with diet sprite but Ive had it this way too & it is tasty. (And doesn’t go to my head as fast unless I drink fast.)
Wow, diet sprite? Interesting combo, I wouldn’t have thought of it.
I’m studying abroad in Chile, and they drink it all the time here! They call it jote!
I can verify this!!! My husband is Chilean, my father-in-law showed me this in Chile! (I’ve also seen it done in Argentina). I do it all the time
(sans orange and bitters)
Now that’s one thing I haven’t mixed with Coke! Will need to try. Sounds refreshing. Like a fizzy sangria. I dig it!
Yes! Much like fizzy sangria, though not as sweet.
I’ve never heard of mixing coke with wine. I’m intrigued.
This sounds totally bizarre. But I am curious enough to give it a try!
Please do, it’s surprisingly tasty!
Too funny! I had a Hungarian roommate in college that used to drink red wine and coke. She wasn’t quite as fancy with the orange and the bitters. And the red wine was out of a jug… but hey, we were in college!
LOL! I can totally see that! Gotta love those college days…
