1. Sangria
You definitely shouldn’t leave Barcelona without trying Sangria. The base of this delicious drink is a red wine mixed with a juice and soda. The authentic one must be served with fresh chopped fruits and cubes of ice. The original recipe contains also a shot of brandy or any other liquor. But, to be honest, it’s hard to define the “proper” taste of Sangria. It can me modify in a many different ways: served with cava, with smashed strawberries, non-alcoholic and much more. It’s in your hand to find your favorite flavor. Independently of the variety, its refreshing composition makes the Sangria a perfect drink for summer!

2. Cava
Cava, a sparkling wine originally produced in Catalonia, is one of the specialties of this region. The most important production center is in Penedès, located just one hour from Barcelona. The most popular Cava styles are classic white (blanc), pink, fruity rosé (rosat) and a little bit less sweet is Brut. It’s often consumed by locals during celebrations and it’s also loved by people visiting Barcelona. Why? Because of the delicate bubbles, its unique taste and…price! It’s just around 3 € for the glass and you can have it in almost all of the bars and restaurants in Barcelona. Just remember to be careful with this Catalonian, champagne-like drink! Despite its light taste, it can make you really dizzy!

3. Clara (Lemon Beer)
The mix of a Spanish beer and lemon soda, called Clara, is one of the best low alcoholic remedies for hot summer days. It’s available in every bar in Barcelona and even if it doesn’t appear on the menu, just ask for a Clara. The barman will know exactly what you want. This light, sweet drink is perfect during the lunch time and whenever you want to have some, not so strong alcoholic drink. You can also buy it in a supermarket or prepare your own Clara. Buy some lemon Fanta and Spanish beers such as Cruzcampo, Estrella Damm or Mahou, mix it and it’s ready to drink!

4. Vermut
This well-known wine flavored with herbs and spices gained a huge popularity in Spain. Although there are many kinds of vermut, the most popular here is the red one. For Spanish people, it’s not just a drink, it’s a part of their culture. While in England there is a tea time, in Spain you will have the same, but for vermut. It’s a perfect way to meet your friends, drink, talk and have some tapas. In Barcelona, you can vermutear (having a vermouth) in one of the traditional bodegas or in one of the new fancy bars which maintain this drink a tradition. The short glass of vermouth costs around 2,5€ and always goes with a slice of orange, an olive on the stick and a cube of ice. So, grab your friends and head for the nearest vermuteria (vermut bar)!
