What is Sangria?

Sangria is popular in Spain and Portugal but has become a beloved cocktail around the world, especially during holidays and summer celebrations. Traditionally made with red wine, sangria is infused with a variety of fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and berries, along with a hint of brandy, liqueur or prosecco. The result is a deliciously fruity, slightly sweet beverage that’s perfect for festive gatherings, warm weather, or simply enjoying with friends.

Sangria Variations: A Drink for Every Taste

Here are some popular twists on the classic sangria that you can try:

1. White Sangria

A refreshing alternative to the traditional red wine version, white sangria is made with crisp white wine as its base. It’s typically lighter and more delicate in flavour, often featuring fruits like peaches, apples, and berries. 

2. Rosé Sangria

For a bright and floral twist, rosé sangria combines the fruity and refreshing qualities of rosé wine with vibrant citrus fruits and berries.
