What is Sangria?
A traditional sangria is actually a Spanish drink made with red wine, fruit, orange juice, and brandy. The mix of juices and wine gives it a deep red color and is part of how it got the name sangria. It comes from the Spanish word “sangre” which means blood.
Since it’s origin, the drink has been adapted and customized over and over to make a whole variety of sangria drinks. You can now find both red and white sangrias, made with all different kinds of juices and wines.
The main components you need to make a sangria of some sort is wine, fresh fruit, juice, and either rum or brandy.
