Spain – Sangria<\/h2>\n

Now a popular drink all over the world, sangria originally hails from Spain<\/a>. The drink gets its name from the Spanish word for blood, “sangre,” due to its color. Sangria is traditionally made from red wine (although white wine is sometimes used) mixed with cut up fruits such as apples, oranges, berries, or lemons.<\/p>\n

Croatia – Rakia<\/h2>\n

Made from a variety of distilled fruits throughout the Balkans, the Croatian version of this brandy is typically made from grapes. Different regions in Croatia<\/a> prepare and serve their rakia differently. In the summer, Croatians like to steep nuts in their rakia and leave it on their porches in the sun.<\/p>\n
