Traditional Sangria

Following on in our Friends of LaLiga recipes campaign, we share one of Spain’s best loved drinks.

Sangria is a beverage, common in Spain and Portugal. It normally consists of red wine, chopped fruit, a sweetener, and a small amount of added brandy.  Sangria is best anytime, anywhere with good company and great food.
