Sangria Day

🍹🍷🏺🍇

Is a drink that sounds like blood fit for vegans? Sounds more like a fancy vampire cocktail!
That’s the question that has puzzled many a wine lover.
But fear not, dear reader, because we’re about to dive into the world of Sangria and it’s all fruity goodness.
So grab your favorite pitcher and let’s get started!

Sangria: the fruit salad of alcoholic beverages.

Let’s start with the basics: Sangria is a refreshing Spanish wine punch that’s perfect for sipping on a hot summer day, or any day really.
Sangria is a sweet and fruity beverage that’s made by mixing red or white wine with chopped fruits, sweeteners, and other spirits like brandy or triple sec.
The drink is then left to sit for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
It’s often served chilled and enjoyed as a social drink during hot summer days.
This refreshing drink has been around since the Middle Ages, and its name comes from the Spanish word “sangre,” which means blood, probably because of its deep red color.

If Sangria could have a personality, it would be that of a flirtatious and fun-loving friend.
Sangria is fun, fruity, and always down for a good time.
It’s the perfect drink for anyone looking to let loose and have some fun.
Just be careful, because sangria can be a bit of a flirt. It’s easy to get carried away with this seductive drink.

The origin of Sangria Day

The origin of Sangria Day is shrouded in magical mystery, but some say it was created by a group of friends who wanted an excuse to drink sangria in the middle of winter.
Others say it was created by Big Sangria Corporation to increase the sales of sangria outside the summer seasons.
Whatever the reason may be, we’re glad this holiday exists because it gives us an excuse to indulge in a glass or two of sangria.
And why not celebrate it on December 20th, which is the perfect time to indulge in a little holiday cheer.
Whether you’re celebrating the winter solstice or just looking for an excuse to party, Sangria Day has got you covered.

How to celebrate Sangria Day

To celebrate Sangria Day, all you need is a few basic ingredients and a pitcher.
Simply mix together red wine, chopped fruit (like apples, oranges, and strawberries), a sweetener (like sugar or honey), and a small amount of brandy.
Let it sit for a few hours and then serve over ice.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can add in some sparkling water or a splash of orange juice.
And don’t forget to garnish with a slice of fruit!
But if you want to take things up a notch, you can host a sangria party, complete with different types of sangria, snacks, and decorations.

And for those who prefer a non-alcoholic version, there are plenty of Sangria recipes that use sparkling water or juice instead of wine.

Safety Tips

Of course, safety is always a concern when it comes to drinking.
So, if you plan on celebrating Sangria Day, make sure to drink responsibly, stay hydrated, and never drink and drive.
Don’t be afraid to get up and move around after a few glasses of sangria. Take a break and do a little dance or some simple exercises to get your blood flowing.
If you’re hosting a party, make sure to have non-alcoholic drinks available for your guests, and advise them not to mix alcohol with other substances.
Lastly, if you have pets, make sure to keep them away from any spilled drinks or empty glasses.

In Conclusion

So, grab a glass, raise a toast to good times, and enjoy this fruity and refreshing drink with your loved ones.
And if anyone asks why you’re celebrating, just tell them Wild Calendar gave you permission to do so.
Happy Sangria Day!
