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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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.
