Savor a Sip of Summer with Sangria
Blogged under Food, Household Necessities, Kitchen Wares by Michele Chan Santos on Tuesday 27 May 2008

With origins in Spain, sangria is a wine punch of red wine, sliced fruit, honey or orange juice, and a little bit of brandy or other spirits. It’s a wonderful summer drink to serve at sangria-from-spain-recipes.jpgparties and is easy to make. The Internet is full of different recipes, such as this classic version; one with Grand Marnier, lemons and oranges; or this Portuguese sangria, which calls for apples, cinnamon and 7-Up. An easy way to start is with La Tienda’s Real Sangria Red Wine with Fruit Flavors, an excellent base. For an authentic Spanish touch, serve your sangria from La Tienda’s brightly painted ceramic pitcher ($45). Show off your sangria’s brilliant colors with this clear, elegant pitcher from Sur La Table ($18). If you expect your guests to get a little wild, you might want to buy the Container Store’s “unbreakable” clear polycarbonate pitcher ($35). Your guests will love sipping from these handcrafted Spanish sangria glasses made of recycled glass ($30 for set of six). If sangria is Spain’s most famous drink, then paella is probably its most famous dish, and the two pair up well. Spain Recipes has a selection of good paella recipes, as well as sangria recipes. Penelope Casas’ cookbook, Paella! Spectacular Rice Dishes from Spain ($23) will keep you experimenting in the kitchen all summer. Or you could team up your sangria with a Spanish tapas sampler box, which includes ham, cured chorizo, peppers and stuffed olives, along with a mini paella pan ($75).
