Sangria

Sangria is a wine-based punch that originated in Spain. The most popular version is made with red wine, fruit juices, and a variety of fruits, but there are many variations.

Sangria recipes can be traced back to the early 1800s, when Spaniards added fruit juices and fruits to their wines as a way to make them more palatable. The most popular version of sangria at that time was made with red wine, citrus juices, and a variety of fruits.

In the early 1900s, sangria made its way to the United States, where it became a popular drink at parties and gatherings. Americans began to experiment with different wines and fruits, and soon there were many different versions of sangria being made.

Advice

When making sangria, the key is to use fresh, seasonal ingredients and choose quality wines. Start with a light, fruity white or rosé wine, and add in your favorite fruits and a splash of brandy for a nice kick. Experiment with different juices, like orange, pineapple, or apple, to add sweetness and complexity. If you want to make it a bit stronger, add some seltzer or sparkling water. Finally, make sure to let the sangria sit for a few hours in the refrigerator so the flavors can mingle and the fruit can fully infuse the wine. Enjoy!
