Sangria Recipe

I don't like Sangria, said no one EVER! Sangria is super fun to drink since it has arguably one of the best ingredients in the world, wine!

Sangria is an alcoholic-fruity Spanish beverage and popular in Europe. It is consists of chopped fruit, wine, and other ingredients, steeped, chilled and served. Sangria is derived from the Spanish word sangre, which means blood, (scary, but DELISH) referring to the reddish hue of the beverage when mixed with red wine. There are two types of Sangria, the red and white or sometimes called as Sangria Blanco or sangria Rojo or Rosso. However, the classic Sangria variation is a combination of juicy red wine like Rioja and mixed with sliced fresh fruits such as apples, melons, berries, peaches, pears, and other local fruits.

For wine lovers, here's a great recipe to get into the sangria groove.
