History

Sangria has roots in Spain and Portugal, where wine has been mixed with fruit and spices for centuries. It was introduced to many Americans at the 1964 New York World's Fair, where the Spanish pavilion served it.

Making a batch? Scale it for a crowd, add dilution water, and see how many bottles to buy.

How are you making it? ⓘ Batching includes dilution water. Pre-batched cocktails need added water to replace the melt from stirring or shaking. We use Jeffrey Morgenthaler's standard: 18% for spirit-forward drinks, 25% for shaken.
