SANGRIA SENORIAL

Sangria Señorial is Mexico's original Sangria flavored soft drink. Its unique and refreshing non-alcoholic Sangria-flavor makes any occasion a spectacular and out-of-this world experience.

The Origin of Sangría

Sangria is the result of traditional Spanish ways of making and drinking wine. There is no official history regarding sangria but it is believed that the "invention" dates from ancient times. Most Mediterranean wines from the classical period were sweetened in some form, and it is probable that during this period sangria (wine + fruit juices) became accepted thanks to its refreshing mixture.

The name "sangria" refers to the color of the wine used: traditional strong red wines with purplish highlights, often found in coastal areas and similar to the color of blood ("sangre" in Spanish means blood). The basic ingredients for sangria were not commonly found in all the Mediterranean countries except for Spain, where they grow in abundance. This is how the tradition survived and how sangria became associated with its Spanish origins.

In Mexico, the tradition of drinking sangria was embraced from colonial times. As part of our cultural heritage, today sangria is one of the drinks of choice for any occasion, and thanks to the non-alcoholic Sangria Señorial, the whole family has been able to enjoy of this delicious tradition for decades now.

I do like this stuff and even bought a case of it at Smart and Final in San Diego.

But I read the ingredients, artificial flavor and color, sugar, water.

So it lost some of its appeal.

I'll invite you over for dinner and barbecue if you will make up a pitcher!

Yeah seems like I have seen and/or drank a pitcher of that at Vittorio's, it comes out with a bunch of fruit floating in the top of it, right? Like orange slices, etc.

Hmm... do you put fruit in yours? I like eating the sangria soaked apples at the bottom.

For this being a soft drink version of Sangria, Senorial Sangria is pretty good. I prefer my sangria with a little booze content.

What's a good booze mix with sangria? Inquiring minds (and mouths) want to know!

I don't think it is a booze mix per se, more like a type of wine punch, ok here's a link, google for recipes
