fruit punch that earned a passport, a hangover, and a reputation for ruining picnics.
means A Spanish or Portuguese drink of red wine mixed with chopped fruit, a sweetener, and often a splash of brandy or soda, served cold.
from From Spanish sangría, literally 'bleeding,' from sangre 'blood' — itself from Latin sanguis, the same root behind 'sanguine' and 'consanguinity.' The wine's deep red color earned it the name. The English word arrived by way of Spanish and Portuguese (Portuguese sangria) and became fashionable abroad in the mid-20th century, helped along, the story goes, by its splashy debut at a 1964 World's Fair.
