Sangria

There is nothing more Spanish and refreshing in the summer time than a good glass of Sangria. The origins of this drink are said to be in Andalusia and the idea was to disguise not so very good red wine with fruits like peaches and citrus and a little brandy, keeping it overnight. Sangria was first made popular with Americans through the Worlds Fair in New York in 1964.

No! You are not drunk. The jar is crooked.

Ingredients:


2 liters Burgundy wine
1 cup sugar
2 cups orange juice
1 cup lemon juice
2 10 oz. club soda
2 tablespoons orange blossoms
1/2 cup dark rum, brandy or orange liquor 
1 peach
1 pear
1 orange
1 lemon


Mix all the liquid ingredients in a jar, except the club soda, with the sugar and stir well so the sugar gets diluted. Then add the fruits and keep refrigerated overnight. Before serving, add the cold club soda. Invite some friends, serve some tapas on the side with this refreshing sangria and have a great time.
