than wine at your Purim seuda but still want to maintain that Purim feeling try
sangria.
Sangria is a wine punch invented in Spain. It usually
consists of wine, chopped fruit, sugar or sweet soda, and a small amount of
added liquor. Chopped fruit can include orange, lemon, lime, apple, peach,
melon, berries, pineapple, grape, kiwifruit and mango. It may even include
honey, sugar, fruit syrup, or orange juice. Instead of liquor some recipes use other
liquids such as Seltzer, Sprite or other lemon soda may be added.
