Sangria, Sangria, Oooooh, Baby Baby...

Sangria is essentially a kind of Portuguese or Spanish punch made from wine, fruit, sweetener, and usually some sort of mild spirit or liqueur such as Triple sec or Chambord. It is usually made with a non acidic, cheap, young red wine. When it's made with white wine it is called Sangria blanc. Sangria blanc is especially popular on the Jersey Shore.

Here at Bradley Liquors, we make and sell our own Sangrias from white wine and fruit. Stop in and grab a bottle--we sell a couple of sizes and they are very popular. We here at Bradley Liquors take pride in the Sangria we sell.

Sangria is the classic summer drink in Spain and Portugal; bars, pubs, and restaurants in Ibiza and Cadiz are famous for it--they serve it in one liter pitchers and tourists and locals quaff it by the bucketload.

If you'd like to try to make your own Sangria, there are a couple of recipes on the Bradley Liquors Facebook Page or subscribe directly to the Bradley Liquors Twitter Feed where there are all kinds of recipes--from nonalcoholic coolers and mocktails to punches to sangrias to traditional and modern and ultramodern cocktails.
