However, despite its global popularity and common association with Spain, it is widely understood that this is more a drink for visitors. Many people would say that, among the locals, it is Spanish sherry wine or vino de Jerez as it is also known.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is a Spanish drink that\u2019s non-alcoholic?<\/h2>\n<p>Hortacha is a name given to a drink that is generally plant based, but sometimes contain milk. In Spain, it is made with soaked, ground, and sweetened tiger nuts (more on that below). Historical records suggest that horchata originated with the Ancient Egyptians, who crafted a barley-based drink. However, the widely recognized version of horchata today comes from Valencia, Spain. When the Moors invaded Spain in the 8th century, they brought the Egyptian recipe with them. In Valencia, where sweet tiger nuts were plentiful, locals creatively transformed the Moorish drink into a refreshing Spanish beverage made from tiger nuts, resulting in the beloved horchata de chufa.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_row  et_pb_equal_columns et_pb_gutters1 related-tour-widget\" style=\"position: relative !important;\n    width: 100%;\">\n            <div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5  related-tour-widget_column-1   et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\" style=\"background:none;\">\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_code \">\n                    <div class=\"et_pb_code_inner\">\n                        <div style=\"width: 250px; height: 160px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow:15px -15px #E4EBF7; margin-top: 1em;\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/content1.travcorpservices.com\/media\/tdkl5bdn\/giralda-tower-seville-spain.jpg?width=1300&#038;height=1300&#038;mode=crop\" alt=\"Best of Spain and Portugal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; box-shadow:none; margin:0px;\">\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_5  related-tour-widget_column-2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\" style=\"\n    width: 100%;\n    text-align: left;\n\">\n                    <div class=\"et_pb_text_inner tour-subtitle\"><p>DISCOVER MORE ON<\/p><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\" style=\"\n    width: 100%;\n    text-align: left;\n\">\n                    <p class=\"et_pb_text_inner related-tour-widget_title\" style=\"\n    color: #081e3f;\n\" >Best of Spain and Portugal TOUR<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_code  related-tour-widget_button\" style=\"\n    width: 100%;\n\">\n                    <div class=\"et_pb_code_inner\">\n                        <div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper  et_pb_module\">\n                            <a class=\"et_pb_button  et_pb_bg_layout_light\" style=\"\n    color: #fff !important;\n    background-color: #4d75c5!important;\n    width: auto;\n\" href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/tours\/best-of-spain-and-portugal\">View Tour<\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Sangria<\/h2>\n<p>Ooozing everything that is great about Spain, this earliest version of this lush, fruity beverage date back to over 2,000 years ago. The Romans planted vineyards as they conquered the Iberian Peninsula, and because it was not safe to drink water, they often fortified it with wine, spices, and herbs.<\/p>\n<p>Though there are many interpretations of what \u201ctraditional sangria\u201d is, but this famous Spanish drink typically requires fruit, sugar, orange juice, liquor and red wine as its main ingredients. Put fruit such as apples and oranges together with a sweetener like brown sugar into a large jug or pitcher and mix together. Next add orange juice and a liquor such brandy or rum. Mix and taste as you go. Finally add a bold red Spanish wine followed by some ice to chill.<\/p>\n<h2>Tinto de Verano<\/h2>\n<p>More popular with the locals than sangria, the similar drink tinto de verano (Spanish for \u2018red wine of summer\u2019) is a refreshing and easy-to-make red wine cocktail.\u00a0 Requiring only two base ingredients \u2013 wine and soda \u2013 you really can\u2019t go wrong. A fruity medium-bodied red wine is recommended, along with a lemon lime soda. La Casera a Spanish lemon-flavored soda is traditional, but you can make a lovely beverage with Sprite or 7Up if needed.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to jazz up this Spanish alcoholic drink a bit you can substitute half the wine with Vermouth, fill the glass up with fresh fruit such as kiwis, strawberries and peaches, or swap the red wine for dry sherry and garnish with mint and lemon slices to create its sister drink from the south, a Rebujito.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"related-post light\">\n            <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/young-shih-MEW5M1WhMQE-unsplash.jpg);\" class=\"related-post-img\"><\/div>\n            <div class=\"related-post-content\">\n                <span>You May Also Like<\/span>\n                <p class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/top-10-tapas-dishes-you-cant-miss\/\">A Taste of Spain: Traditional Tapas Dishes You Can&#039;t Miss<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Horchata de Chufa<\/h2>\n<p>Horchata de Chufa, one of Spain&#8217;s most famous non-alcoholic drinks, is originally from the southwestern region of Valencia. Refreshingly delicious, its also naturally gluten free and dairy free. It&#8217;s made from ground chufa nuts (&#8216;tigernuts&#8217; in English), which aren&#8217;t actually nuts at all. In fact they&#8217;re the roots of a wetland plant called a sedge and have been cultivated for centuries and eaten as a chewy snack or ground into a flour.\u00a0The tiger nuts are soaked in water then blended. Lemon and cinnamon are often added for a little flavor.<\/p>\n<h2>Queimada<\/h2>\n<p>Queimada, known as the &#8220;fire drink,&#8221; hails from Galicia in the northwest. This Spanish alcoholic drink is a traditional punch crafted from Galician aguardente, a spirit that is distilled from the remnants of winemaking, known as orujo. It is then sweetened with sugar and enhanced with lemon or orange peel, along with coffee beans. Some versions of queimada might also feature cinnamon or apples and is commonly made in a hollowed-out pumpkin or in a ceramic or clay pot.<\/p>\n<p>Many Spanish traditional drinks come with a story, and this doesn&#8217;t disspoint. Queimada is a traditional ritual practiced by the people of Galicia, situated in the northwestern corner of Spain, just across from Portugal. This ceremony aims to banish demons and evil spirits through a combination of incantations and a witch\u2019s brew crafted from Orujo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"related-post light\">\n            <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Large-Aerial-view-of-Barcelona-skyline-with-Sagrat-Cor-temple-Catalonia-Spain-1143273440.jpg);\" class=\"related-post-img\"><\/div>\n            <div class=\"related-post-content\">\n                <span>You May Also Like<\/span>\n                <p class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/ultimate-spain-and-portugal-itinerary\/\">This Two-Week Spain and Portugal Itinerary is Full of Surprises<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Tepache de Pina<\/h2>\n<p>A slightly fermented drink made from fresh pineapple peel and core, the Tepache de Pina is hailed as one of the most refreshing beverages you might encounter. Its unique in that it takes advantage of parts of the fruit that we usually just throw away or compost, mixing pineapple peels with sugar, and water. Its not a quick drink to make but a fun challenge for the more ambitious host.<\/p>\n<p>First dissolve the sugar, (traditionally, piloncillo sugar is used to make tepache but you can use dark or light brown sugar as an alternative), put it into a glass jar then pack with pieces of pineapple rind. Adding cassia bark and smash the cloves enhances the flavour. Making sure the pineapple is fully submerged and leave it for three days. Strain the mixture and leave for a further two days before chilling in the fridge and serving.<\/p>\n<h2>Kalimotxo<\/h2>\n<p>Kalimotxo, or calimocho is made with red wine and Coca-Cola. A simple and refreshing combination, the idea for this drink appeared in the early 20th century, but it only became popular around the 1970s. East to prepare, its sweet taste is quickly followed by a wine aftertaste.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a well-known story that tells of festival organizers in the Basque region who decided to make kalimotxo in order to use up a surplus of leftover, unpleasant red wines. To their surprise, the concoction became a huge hit, and this blend of half red wine and half soft drink truly captured the public\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>The name kalimotxo features the suffix -motxo, which translates to \u201cugly.\u201d This could either reference the drink&#8217;s dark color or the circumstances surrounding its creation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_row  et_pb_equal_columns et_pb_gutters1 related-tour-widget\" style=\"position: relative !important;\n    width: 100%;\">\n            <div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5  related-tour-widget_column-1   et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\" style=\"background:none;\">\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_code \">\n                    <div class=\"et_pb_code_inner\">\n                        <div style=\"width: 250px; height: 160px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow:15px -15px #E4EBF7; margin-top: 1em;\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/content1.travcorpservices.com\/media\/5irlkxy2\/highlights-spain-guided-tour.jpg?width=1300&#038;height=1300&#038;mode=crop\" alt=\"Highlights of Spain\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; box-shadow:none; margin:0px;\">\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_5  related-tour-widget_column-2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\" style=\"\n    width: 100%;\n    text-align: left;\n\">\n                    <div class=\"et_pb_text_inner tour-subtitle\"><p>DISCOVER MORE ON<\/p><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\" style=\"\n    width: 100%;\n    text-align: left;\n\">\n                    <p class=\"et_pb_text_inner related-tour-widget_title\" style=\"\n    color: #081e3f;\n\" >Highlights of Spain TOUR<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_code  related-tour-widget_button\" style=\"\n    width: 100%;\n\">\n                    <div class=\"et_pb_code_inner\">\n                        <div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper  et_pb_module\">\n                            <a class=\"et_pb_button  et_pb_bg_layout_light\" style=\"\n    color: #fff !important;\n    background-color: #4d75c5!important;\n    width: auto;\n\" href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/tours\/highlights-of-spain\">View Tour<\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Agua de Valencia<\/h2>\n<p>Agua de Valencia is a delightful Spanish cocktail that combines freshly squeezed orange juice, cava (sparkling wine), vodka, and gin. This fruity, refreshing Spanish alcoholic drink is a perfect blend of a mimosa and sangria, evoking the essence of Spain on a sunny spring day.<\/p>\n<p>Simply juice the oranges, mix in your alcohol and you\u2019re set to serve. Keep in mind that the longer Agua de Val\u00e8ncia sits in the refrigerator, the more the flavors will harmonize.<\/p>\n<h2>Vermouth<\/h2>\n<p>When in Spain, do as locals do which means sipping vermouth on a Sunday afternoon. Traditionally served as an aperitif before lunch, vermouth was introduced to Spain in the late 19th century via Italy and quickly became immensely popular and distinctly Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>This sweet wine can be either red or white wine, though red is more common, and it\u2019s typically accompanied by an olive or a slice of orange. While there are various types of vermouth, the sweet red variety is the one you\u2019re most likely to encounter in Spain, offering a bold contrast to the dry vermouth you may be more familiar with in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"related-post light\">\n            <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/louis-hansel-wVoP_Q2Bg_A-unsplash.jpg);\" class=\"related-post-img\"><\/div>\n            <div class=\"related-post-content\">\n                <span>You May Also Like<\/span>\n                <p class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-how-to-order-food-in-spain\/\">Everything You Need to Know About How to Order Food in Spain<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Granizado<\/h2>\n<p>On a scorching summer day, nothing beats a granizado made with crushed ice and fresh fruit juice or syrup. One of the most refreshing of Spanish traditional drinks, here are countless flavors to choose from, but one of the favorites is lemon\u2014crafted with lemon juice, sugar, and shaved lemon peel for an extra zing. You&#8217;ll find granizados available throughout Spain, in places ranging from ice cream shops and grocery stores to bars and cafes.<\/p>\n<h2>Sidra<\/h2>\n<p>Albeit not a drink you can make, Spanish cider (sidra) deserves a mention. This famous Spanish drink produced in the northwest regions of Spain and the Basque country dates back to the 1st century. A rich, cultural tradition, to make sidra native apples are harvested in early autumn and fermented for several months with their natural yeasts.<\/p>\n<p>This drink comes with its own way of drinking, In Asturias, glass was historically a luxury item that was not easily accessible. As a result, friends and family often shared a single glass while enjoying cider together, fostering a communal atmosphere over time. This practice developed into a distinctive drinking ritual. Typically, after taking a sip, one would leave a small amount of cider in the glass. Then, to &#8220;clean&#8221; the glass, the last sip would be poured onto the ground from the side that touched their lips before passing the glass to the next person for their turn.<\/p>\n<p><em>Why not join us for a <a href=\"https:\/\/Spain guided tour\">Spain guided tour<\/a> and discover more of this beautiful country in &#8220;Business Class&#8221; style?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunshine, siestas, fiestas and tapas.
