Pitcher of red sangria full of orange and apple slices
🇪🇸 Andalusia
Sangria — from sangre, "blood," for its deep red color — is the pitcher of Spanish summer, a way to stretch and refresh everyday wine with fruit and a little brandy. Andalusian afternoons stretch long over a shared jug, the fruit growing sweeter as it soaks.
