Spanish Sangria With Cheese Pairings​


The hardest part of our sangria recipe is waiting for the wine and fruit to infuse and become one delicious drink. But once you take a sip of this fruity, balanced summer classic, you'll know it was worth it. Sangria is thought to have originated in the Iberian Peninsula, so we also provided Spanish cheeses and chorizo to pair alongside your cocktail. As you enjoy them, you can expect the bright acidity and ripe fruit notes of the sangria to bring these cheeses to life.​
