Who doesn’t love sangria? I guess it all depends on what KIND of Sangria. I’m guessing that this drink must have the most variations out there. Although, it’s sort of just as generic as spiked punch. Lucky for those having a signature cocktail, that is a good thing as the sangria can be tailored (concocted is more like it) to whatever mix desired. It can be red wine-based with a more heavier, bold taste or a light fruity white wine-based. This can be cost-effective as the sangria can be made ahead of time and can be sold by the gallon (negotiate with the venue). The fewer ingredients, the better.
