National Sangria Day
National Sangria Day, a national holiday in the United States, honors a wine and fresh fruit pairing that brings a new celebration to the table each year.
Sangria is a drink made with wine and sweetened with fresh fruit and fruit juices. Other ingredients may include herbs, spices, carbonation, and liquor. The combinations are endless, giving sangria a spot in the cocktail rotation year-round... This fruity punch is extremely versatile, delivering refreshing and light during hot summer months, brilliant and sparkling during the winter ones.
For the best flavors, use fresh fruit in season. Once mixed, sangria should be chilled and the fruit can be marinated for a few hours or overnight. If making sangria, use 100% juice, you'll get the most benefits as well. Eating the fruit instead of all the sugar cakes and pies over the holidays will be healthier. Red wine has many benefits, but moderation and sangria will be worth all the festivities.
