Thinking about a red sangria, this cocktail pairs well with fish. Thinking about the Spanish roots, a paella would be great choice. Also, shrimp skewers or even some fish tacos would work.

For a heartier meal, a flank steak is a great choice. Just like red wine pairs with steak, a red sangria can stand up to that flavorful steak dish.

Additionally, a red sangria can be enjoyed with dessert. With so many cheesecake options from the restaurant, it could be fun to see which cheesecake flavor works best. Maybe the new Snickers inspired cheesecake flavor could make for a tasty combination.
