A little known fact about the origin of this world famous and delicious Spanish drink: it was created some time during the 18th century in the Iberian Peninsula, when clever British sailors docked in the Antilles and, to elude the ban on drinking alcohol, disguised their Spanish rum as fruit juice, by adding honey, spices and pieces of fruit to it.
There are different versions of Sangria. Although commonly made with red wine, in Catalonia sangria is made with spumante or white wine, and this is the version we bring to you.
As a summer aperitif, it absolutely perfect; light, flavourful and enriched with lots of delicious fresh fruit this Sangria is an instant fiesta!
