Sangría

Everybody who is travelling to Spain wants to try typical Spanish food and drinks like Sangría. Sangría is a kind of wine punch and works well as a cheap party drink. Sangria derives from the Spanish word "sangre" which means blood. But Sangria is not always red like blood, there exists also Sangría which is made with white wine and therefore called "Sangría Blanco".
Sangría was originally created in Spain with Rioja and other Spanish red wines. Soon, however, the Cava-producing area adopted a sparkling white version. In the south of Spain Sangria is called "zurra", and is created with peach or nectarine.
Sangría usually is comprised of red wine, chopped or sliced fruit, juice, a sweetener such as sugar or honey, a small amount of added brandy, triple sec, or other spirits.
Sangría is often served in 1-litre pitchers or other containers large enough to hold a bottle of wine plus the added ingredients.
