Zurracapote

Zurracapote is a popular Spanish mixed drink with numerous recipes and variations. However, the basic ingredients are always the same – sugar, lemon, red wine, cinnamon, and dried fruits. Depending on personal preferences, it can be served over ice, chilled, or at room temperature, and it is typically poured into a goblet.

Since Zurracapote originates from the Rioja region and surrounding areas, it is best to use local red wines when making the drink. Although this refreshing cocktail is quite similar to sangria, Zurracapote relies on extracting flavors from dried fruits and spices, while sangria gets some of its flavors from citrus fruits.
