What better way to start the summer than to have a refreshing drink of sangria! My previous blog spoke of the importance of starting the day with a green smoothie, but nighttime is upon us and I'm on vacation, so please don't judge me!:)
Sangria originates from Spain, and it's name is rooted from the Spanish word, "bleeding". Hence, it's typically made of red wine. It's a wine punch that consists of wine, fruit and brandy. I love both the traditional Spanish version with red wine and also the more summery-sweet white wine version of the sangria.
In Spain, they typically serve it with red wine and chopped apples. But, today I'm adding my own little twist!
