One Midtown Kitchen
It's not technically a sangria, but the Peargria martini has joined the ranks as a signature drink at One Midtown Kitchen. Pear Grey Goose, cellar reserve port and a splash of cranberry juice combine for an elegant twist on the classic recipe.

EAST ATLANTA
Holy Taco
Red sangria's on the menu, too, but the white is original and extra refreshing on a hot day. A medium-bodied, slightly effervescent white wine is mixed with a simple-syrup concoction that includes plums, peaches, nectarines, oranges, bay leaves and cinnamon cooked up by chef Robert Phelan. The cocktail is finished with a tiny splash of Maison Prunier, a cognac with a hint of orange to add a little sweetness. Served over ice.
$6 by the glass, $22 for a five-glass pitcher. 1314 Glenwood Ave., East Atlanta. 404-230-6177, www.holy-taco.com.
