Spanish Feast Cooking and Sangria Mixology Interactive Party
There are dozens of variations of this amazing cocktail, from traditional to sparkling strawberry sangria to pink rosé sangria. For this mixology interactive party, we will show you the best flavor combinations! We will start with a classic sangria recipe to make a perfect wine cocktail, then one with white wine and finally, a favorite in Barcelona, cava sangria. Cava is the local sparkling wine from this region of Spain and is, therefore, an obvious addition to a delicious cocktail.
