Translated from Spanish, the word sangria means "bull's blood". That is why the classic version of this drink involves the use of dry red wine. However, there are many recipes according to which sangria is made on the basis of white or sparkling Spanish wine, vaguely reminiscent of champagne.
It is necessary
-
- • A bottle of inexpensive dry red wine;
- • Orange;
- • Peach;
- • Apple;
- • A glass of white rum;
- • Lemonade 0.5 l;
- • Sugar;

Instructions
Step 1
Initially, the idea of mixing wine and fruit came from the Spaniards because it was necessary to sell fruits that were beginning to deteriorate. Sangria is a drink of poor people, so cheap wine was the basis for its preparation. Nowadays, of course, no one is experimenting with spoiled foods; choose fresh fruits for making sangria. Prepare them first. Remove the skin and the seed capsule of the apple, wash the orange well. Cut the peach and apple into cubes, and cut the orange into thin slices. Leave the fruit in the rum overnight. Cool in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Now combine the ingredients. Remember it's best to use chilled ingredients. First, pour lemonade into the vessel, then add red wine there, and then add the prepared fruit-rum mixture. If you pour lemonade into wine, then the drink will turn out to be less carbonated.
Step 3
Then add sugar and cinnamon to the drink for extra spice. Sugar is added exclusively to taste. Be sure to make sure the sugar is completely melted. If desired, the drink can be drained, although the Spaniards themselves prefer pieces of fruit to float in the glass. Serve sangria in large, round glasses with straws.
Step 4
White sangria has nothing to do with bovine blood, but it is also great for quenching your thirst on a hot day. To prepare this version of the drink, use dry white wine, from fruits - apple, peach and lemon, and as a spicy component, nutmeg. The fruit component can be any, from kiwi to melon, only the inclusion of citrus fruits in the recipe is required. Firstly, citrus fruits give a sour tint to the taste of the drink, secondly, they help quench thirst, and thirdly, Spain is unthinkable without oranges. White sangria is served chilled with seafood and paella.
