Sangria Recipe
Sangria has made its way to us through Spain and Portugal with a long and rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages! It was originally simply aged wine mixed with fruits and spices such as cinnamon. With time, it then evolved into regional variations. The version we will show you today is a light and bubbly version with seltzer water with a perfect balance of wine and brandy. With the combination of fruits, this drink is an explosion of flavors! Whether it’s for a relaxing Friday night at home, or to invite friends over for entertaining, Sangria is perfect for any occasion!
