Macerated fruity Sangria cocktail classic with wine and chopped citrus orange, bitter cucumber and juicy sweet strawberries.
Splurge into a liquid summer punch. And, bathe your parched soul.
This drink will blow away your belief that you can’t create a vegan cocktail this tasty.
Make this:
- When you’re feeling reminiscent for the streets of Barcelona and fancy a touch of punch but at home
- When you fancy a quick to rustle sneaky pre-drinks at home before you rush out to the party in town
- When you’re in the garden at home with the sun blazing and fancy an accompaniment to the barbeque you are rustling up
Sangria was inspired when having an evening pre-drink at a friend’s apartment in Barcelona. My bestie and ex-beau were vy8ing for wine soaked in fruity delicious flavours.
Sangria originates from ancient Rome, when fruits and herbs were added to foul tasting table wine was added to unsafe water.
Sangria is a vegan cocktail drink.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.
Going strong since 2013.
