    Sangria originated in Spain, and it takes its name from the word "sangre," which means "blood." It should be served as cold as possible. Avoid highly acidic fruits such as pineapple, because they detract from the flavor rather than enhancing it.

      Try freezing the fruit and using it as ice cubes. It keeps the cocktail refreshing and cold even on the hottest of sunny days.
