Originating in Spain, Sangria is a refreshing and fruity cocktail popular for summer gatherings and perfect for sipping on a hot day. Its name comes from the Spanish word “sangre,” meaning blood, due to the deep red color of the drink. The traditional recipe includes red wine, chopped fruit, brandy, and a sweetener, often served with ice and sparkling water. Our Eva Longoria inspired Sangria uses traditional ingredients but swaps sparkling water for club soda.
The actress’s 2023 CNN show Searching for Mexico showcased the food and culture of six diverse regions in the southern country, with the aim to illustrate Mexico’s multifaceted offerings beyond the cliche tacos and tequila. She inspired us to dive deeper into time-honored Mexican cuisine.
