Philippine Airlines "MABUHAY Lounge" Special Sangria at Manila Airport

How to Make a Basic "Sangria"

Sangria is a representative flavored wine of Spain, made by combining wine with fruits, spices, and sweeteners. It is a traditional drink enjoyed in many regions of Spain, especially served chilled during the hot summer months.

Main Ingredients: Red wine or white wine (for white sangria), citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons, berries, sugar, spices (e.g., cinnamon), carbonated water, or orange juice.
Alcohol Content: Lower than wine, making it fruity and sweet, and easy to drink.
Color Variations: While red sangria is the most common, white wine-based "White Sangria" and sparkling wine-based "Sangria Cava" are also popular.

At the airport lounge bar, I decided to place an order cock-tail. The bartender was constantly handing out cocktails and bottles of mineral water to customers, one after another. It might be a bias, but I couldn't help thinking, "Could this person be the hardest-working employee in the Philippines?" I ordered two types of cocktails, but perhaps to serve them quickly, the focus seemed more on "serving time" than on "technique." It felt more like mass-produced cocktails made efficiently rather than professional craftsmanship. The taste was "so -so", but I was happy to enjoy the stylish atmosphere in the airport setting.
