About the Easy Sangria
Sangria originated in Spain and Portugal, where wine was mixed with fruit to make it more palatable. The name comes from the Spanish word 'sangre' meaning blood, referring to the drink's deep red colour.
Missing something?
- No Brandy? Use Cognac (Cognac is a brandy, so it is a straight swap)
- No Brandy? Use Pisco (Unaged and more floral)
- No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
- No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
- No Orange Juice? Use Orange (Squeeze fresh: 1 orange gives about 70 ml)
- No Orange Juice? Use Blood Orange Juice (Berry-like and deep red)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
