Sangria is an alcoholic drink with a red wine base that is mixed with various fruits, juices and soda to create a light fruity drink that is as appealing in the heat of summer as it is in the cold of winter. Though there are many variations on the Sangria drink, the Chicago styles use white as well as red wine as the base. An exact recipe depends on the tastes of the person mixing the drink as much as it does on what fruits are in season.
