Traditional Spanish Sangria

in drink •  6 years ago 

Andalucia, with its deep Roman roots and Moorish influences, is the land of flamenco music, bullfighting and dark-eyed ladies with carnations tucked in their hair.

But it is also touched by a heavy dose of Anglomania. Many old-fashioned British traditions exist in Andalucia to this day. Perhaps we have sherry to thank for that. The sherry industry, centered in Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlucar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria, is as booming today as it was in the 17th century, when the export of sherry wines and brandy established an enduring connection with England.
Many classic drinks and certain foods of Andalucia were inherited from the British, then changed to suit the tastes of the Andalucian people. They remain, however, in essence, totally British. We sipped minted iced tea on warm summer afternoons, had Bullshots on chilly winter mornings before partridge shoots and made Bloody Mary before grand Sunday lunches.
