The Blue Sangria: A Classic Cocktail Revisited
The blue sangria is a modern version of the classic Spanish sangria, which usually consists of red wine, macerated fruits, spices and sometimes other spirits like rum or vodka.
Its name comes mainly from its bright colour, which is obtained by adding melon liqueur and Curaçao, two green and blue coloured liqueurs with alcohol levels around 20% to 23%.

A Unique Taste Created by Well-Chosen Ingredients
At ZIBO!, our blue sangria is a blend of several ingredients carefully selected by our bar team, each of which plays a very specific role in creating the taste and appearance of the drink.
White Wine
The key ingredient in the blue sangria is undoubtedly white wine. We recommend choosing a light, dry wine, such as a Riesling or Pinot Grigio, to give your cocktail a delicate flavour.
Melon liqueur
It is used to bring a sweet and sour touch to the sangria and to give it its very distinctive colour.
Curaçao
Curaçao is another liqueur that has a vibrant hue. It is used to enhance the colour and add a touch of citrus and bitterness to the sangria.
Pineapple Juice
Pineapple juice adds a tropical flavour to the drink and makes it more refreshing and appetizing. It also helps to sweeten the taste of the wine and the melon liqueur.
Lemon-Lime Soda
The lemon-lime soda, of course, adds a little extra sweetness and creates a nice balance with the fruitier flavours of the sangria. It is also useful to enhance the texture and mouthfeel.
