Everyone seems to love Sangria. Even the people that claim they don’t like alcohol. The fruitiness makes us forget that it’s an alcoholic drink, and it’s addictive. It’s great for serving at parties since it’s simple to make and can be made in advance. You don’t even have to serve guests individually. Simply dump all the ingredients together and leave it out for people to serve themselves. OK, that may not be the friendliest hosting but you know what I mean. The only thing is that people keep coming back for more, so you’d better make a lot.
