History
Drink in layers or stir. This port and gin drink resembles chilled mulled wine.
The Sangaree derives its name from the Spanish word for blood, "Sangre." Its origins trace back to the early 1700s, with the earliest written mention appearing in a 1736 issue of the British Gentleman's Magazine: "... a punch seller in the Strand had devised a new punch made of strong Madeira wine and called Sangre."
