Zurracapote from Miranda de Ebro

Ingredients to make Zurracapote from Miranda de Ebro:

1. 2 liters of rosé wine or red wine
2. 2 lemons cut
3. 1 branch of Cinnamon sticks
4. 300 grams of Sugar (1½ cups)

How to make Zurracapote from Miranda de Ebro:

• The first step that must be taken to prepare this Miranda del Ebro-style zurracapote cocktail is to boil the red or rosé wine (depending on which we have chosen) together with the sugar for half an hour. This way the alcohol will evaporate completely.
• Next, to continue with the preparation of the zurracapote, we let the mixture of wine and sugar warm up and then add the lemons broken into several pieces and the cinnamon stick.
• Subsequently, we let this drink macerate for 3 days in a cool, dry place at room temperature and we stir it from time to time during those days. This is the key step in making zurracapote.
• After those 3 days, we check the sweetness of the zurracapote ingredients and add a little more sugar if necessary. Then we only have to store this cocktail in the fridge and serve it very cold. And this is how to make a good zurracapote from Miranda de Ebro!
