Sangria is a wine-based cocktail of Spanish origin that can be pre-made in batches. The more you allow the drink to sit, the more the flavors will meld. The fruit soaks up all the delicious flavors and imparts sweetness to the drink. Throw in a few cinnamon sticks for a richer, earthy sweetness. Easy Red Sangria is only 5 steps and takes only 5 minutes to create a sunny, buzzy, sweet concoction. You could be enjoying the summer in style in no time at all!
