June 28th, 2026 Drink of the Week

Copy-of-Feature-image-maker-21

Apparently topping sangria with ginger beer is authentically Spanish. It’s certainly very scrumptuous! This is lovely on a long hot summer afternoon. Or a random Saturday, or Tuesday for that matter.

Ingredients:

Grape juice (sparkling or still)
Juice of 3 oranges
1 green apple finely diced
1 orange finely diced
1 cinnamon stick
Soda water or ginger beer

Method:

First 3/4 fill a large jug with grape juice
Then add the oranges juice, diced apple and orange, and cinnamon stick
Top with soda water or ginger beer.

Enjoy!
