The drink Sangria -- Colorful citrus fruit make this pretty sangria a fun and festive
cocktail!
Sangria is a refreshing summer-time drink that prevails in
Portugal and Spain during the warm summer months;

by many. Traditionally sangria contains either white or red wine
and sliced or cubed fruits before adding ice and sometimes carbonated soda.
