The 60’s, a great time in my life…and a great time to drink Sangria,a red wine and fruit drink: a chilled Spanish drink of red wine, fruit juice, carbonated water, sugar, and brandy or another liquor, usually served in a jug with pieces of fruit, yes that’s Sangria. I was younger in the 60’s and I never really appreciated any type of wine, but Sangria it went down easy because it was sweet and I liked sweet. Now that I am older, and least I should say, wiser, I have learned to appreciate a good bottle of wine and Sangria, well let me just say, sweet is not my thing anymore.

But, I recently went to a great restaurant and I was told their Sangria was great, so I opted for a glass of Sangria and now I can say,

I like Sangria again.   It went down easy and not as sweet as I remember it to be.

So I just want to give you a recipe that I found and I can tell you after drinking this Sangria you will be saying, “OLE” , too
