sangria
A drink called "Sangria" at one time was very fashionable in our area. Weak, sweet, pleasant in color and, most importantly, cheap - what else does a not very picky buyer need, who thinks that he is buying a decent Spanish wine?
In fact, sangria is not wine, but a wine drink, that is, a mixture of wine and fruit juices. This combination is called "cooler" (some people confuse this word with the word "cobbler", which is called drinks that do not contain alcohol and are prepared by mixing ice, fruit juices and syrups, fresh and canned fruits).
Real Spanish sangria is a medium alcoholic drink based on wine (more often red) with the addition of pieces of fruit, berries, sugar, sparkling water, and sometimes a small amount of brandy and dry liquor , sometimes spices. Sangria is one of the most popular drinks in Spanish cuisine. It is commonly served in bars, restaurants, chiringuitos and festivities throughout Spain.
There is no strict recipe for mixing all these ingredients, which makes this drink easy to fake. And therefore, if you like “sangria” to your taste, then it is better to buy it in company stores.
