What’s in it? Red wine, mango rum, pineapple juice, and orange juice.How it tastes: Fruity, refreshing, and somewhat tart. Surprisingly, the two kinds of fruit juice don’t make this drink overwhelmingly sweet. If you enjoy red wine, this is the drink for you. The Mango Sangria fits in with the Merchant’s trendy, pleasant atmosphere.
Cost: $5 at the Merchant Bar & Restaurant, 279 Grove Street in Jersey City (across the street from City Hall). Check it out on the web at www.themerchantnj.com.
Who’s drinking it: Both women and men have been ordering the Mango Sangria, which is one of the Merchant’s current drink specials. Also known as a “Mangria,” the drink has been available at the Merchant for about three weeks now, after a staff member found the recipe and began mixing it for customers.
