A Sangria Story

What has happened to Sangria? When did restaurants begin to dilute it with citrus flavored soda? I was appalled last night when I was served Sangria that tasted like soda pop. The standard recipe for Sangria includes good red wine, slices and juice of lemons and oranges, some Triple Sec, some brandy, and cut up apple. I discussed this with the waitress, who brought it to the attention of the bartender. He said that his recipe included Sprite! We had a pleasant chat with the manager, who admitted that their recipe was changed in August. So much for Sangria in that restaurant. Corporate has done it again.....
