Drink Recipes  - Sangría

The word sangría comes from the Spanish sangre meaning blood. It typically consists of

• red wine
• chopped or sliced fruit
• a sweetener such as honey or orange juice
• a small amount of added brandy, triple sec, or other spirits.
• lemonade or another soft drink

Because of the variation in recipes, sangría's strength can vary greatly.

The ingredients in sangría vary, particularly in the type of fruit used, the kind of spirits added (if any), and the presence or lack of carbonation. White wine can be used instead of red, in which case the result is called sangría blanca. In some parts of southern Spain, sangría is called zurra and is made with peaches or nectarines. In most recipes, wine is the dominant ingredient and acts as a base.

Preparation consists of cutting the fruit in thin slices or small cubes, then mixing in advance all ingredients except for ice and carbonated sodas. After several hours in a refrigerator to allow time for the fruit flavors to blend with the rest of the ingredient, the ice and any last-minute ingredients are added and the drinks are poured.

In Spain, sangría is served throughout the country during summer, and around the year in the southern and eastern parts of the country.
