About this drink
Sangria 43 is a modern twist on classic Spanish sangria, in which the sweet vanilla and citrus notes of Licor 43 melt into juicy red wine and fresh fruit. It comes from the popular Spanish liqueur's own recipe tradition, where it is often used to give sangria a rounder, more aromatic profile. The result is a light, fruit-laden punch, made for warm summer evenings or a tapas dinner with friends.
