The Front Porch Swing is a summer refresher with its origins in Spanish sangria. Wine is mixed with something stronger, and a fruit salad is added. This long, cold drink was invented in some time after 2003 by H Joseph Ehrmann of Elixir in San Francisco, and leans on white wine rather than red as the base.
