- 200 g red berries (strawberries, cherries)
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Tips
- In the EU the plain name “sangria” is reserved for a drink produced in Spain or Portugal: a wine-based drink with natural citrus extracts, between 4.5 % and 12 % ABV.
- The white version is called “clarea” in Spain, and sangria with brandy is “zurra” (9–14 %).
- Sangria is not heated, so all the alcohol from the wine and brandy stays in the drink.
