Rebujito

Rebujito is a popular cocktail originating from Spain, specifically the region of Andalusia. It is traditionally consumed during the Feria de Abril and other local festivals. The drink is a mix of sherry (usually manzanilla) and a soft drink, typically lemonade or 7-Up, served over ice.

History

The origins of the Rebujito can be traced back to the British influence in the Andalusian region during the 19th century. The British would often mix sherry with soda water, a drink known as a Sherry Cobbler. The locals adapted this practice, replacing the soda water with a sweet soft drink, thus creating the Rebujito.

Preparation

The preparation of a Rebujito is simple and straightforward. It involves mixing one part sherry (preferably manzanilla or fino) with two parts of a soft drink. The mixture is then poured over ice in a glass or jug. The drink is often garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Cultural Significance

The Rebujito has become a staple at many Andalusian festivals, including the Feria de Abril in Seville and the Romería de El Rocío. It is often served in a large jug, allowing groups of people to share the drink. The light and refreshing nature of the Rebujito makes it a popular choice during the hot summer months.
