Sangria

Milwaukee makes excellent beer, but it also has some outstanding sangria. Although there are many distinct types of sangria, the basic ingredients are usually wine, fruit, and herbs or spices. This fruity wine beverage was crucial to the drinker's safety in the early years of the Roman empire. Watered-down wine was made a little more palatable by adding some fresh fruit and herbs because the water was hazardous to drink. During the New York City World's Fair in 1964, the beverage arrived in America.

Some of the city's best sangria can be found at Hotel Madrid. Red, white, and seasonal sangria, as well as a flight option, are all available on the menu. The Lost Whale, a bar managed by Daniel Beres and Tripper Duval, is also located in Milwaukee. Together, they founded the business Odyssea Sangria, which sells canned sangria in Milwaukee and around Wisconsin.
