> The store is staffed mainly by people from the DR - heck, I was the only person who worked there born in the U.S. They told me they also drink red wine mixed with Coke - there is definitely a tradition of drinking sweet things where they are from. Totally unsurprising when you are talking about the cuisine and drink of a region where sugar is grown.

[Calimocho](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalimotxo) is close enough, although it doesn’t say anything about the DR there.
