Sangria ( Latin word for 'blood') has been around as far back as
6000 B.C. When the Romans introduced wine-making to the rest of Europe, Spain became home
to many vineyards and began shipping their wine to the Empire. Adding fruit to the wine probably started in the Andalusia
region in southern Spain
because this area has the perfect climate for growing citrus and other fruits.

Sangria was introduced to the United States at the
1964 World's Fair in New York.

I've made a few pitchers of sangria for parties over the years using
the prepared bottled version that was available in most
liquor stores. You just added fresh fruit and lots of ice to make it
look authentic but the last time I inquired I was told the prepared
version was no longer available. I'm not sure if this is true or not
but since I was unable to get it, it forced me to start looking for recipes
for this summery beverage.

There are many to be sure but with the current popularity of rosés I found a recipe using a chilled , inexpensive bottle, white cranberry
juice and a liqueur called framboise. It was light, sweet, delicious and didn't last long. . . the best testimonial of all! Give it a try before the magic of the summer season comes to an end.
