Sold everywhere, usually in litre jugs, traditional sangria is the convivial aperitif par excellence. It's easy to make - pour cheap red wine, orange juice and a dash of hard liquor (vodka, triple sec etc.) onto chopped fruit (often oranges and apples) in a large mixing bowl. Like with any popular drink, everyone has their own take on it: some people prefer adding carbonated water, others like different seasonal fruits. The sangria can be served immediately once the contents of the bowl have been well mixed. Be careful not to let it marinate for more than a few hours, or the mixture is liable to ferment!!
