If you are looking for something fun, flavorful and refreshing that can be made with or without alcohol, sangria is one that checks all these boxes.<\/p>\n

Thought to be invented by the Romans (in 6000 B.C.), also credited with naming it “sangria,” which translates into “blood,” because its color resembles blood.<\/p>\n

It likely was created out of necessity, because water back then often was unsafe to drink, the addition of alcohol was necessary to kill harmful bacteria.<\/p>\n

Sangria is a delicious drink and also good for our health when made with beneficial ingredients.<\/p>\n

For example, if you use a good red wine, which provides heart-healthy, cancer-fighting antioxidants, and fresh fruit, which contains a high dose of vitamins, minerals and protein, there\u2019s more than simply refreshment in your glass.<\/p>\n

Although it may be made many different ways, sangria typically is prepared from red wine, fresh fruit and sometimes a little brandy or rum. Today, the foot has come off the brakes with sangria recipes, so just about anything can be mixed into it.<\/p>\n

When making a sangria with wine, select one you would drink by itself.\u00a0Reds like a Bordeaux or Cabernet or Rioja work best. However, whites like a Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio work well, too.<\/p>\n

Always use fresh fruit. Citrus, berries, plums, pears or any other fruit you desire pair well, but time is necessary for the flavors to marry properly with the wine, and a “must do” for true sangria to fully bloom with flavor.<\/p>\n

The most important rule for making a good sangria is to give it time to steep, at least half a day, so plan ahead and be sure to make plenty of it.<\/p>\n

To lower the alcohol content, or even make your sangria nearly non-alcoholic, try simmering your favorite wine for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Alcohol will cook off, and if you do it gently, not with a rapid, rolling boil, the wine\u2019s flavor will remain intact. This helps you avoid sugary grape juice or soda substitutes.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
