Doing a bit of basic research on the sangria/sangaree, the Wikipedia entry emphasises the Spanish origins of sangria, but identifies a separate development in the Caribbean of Sangaree single serve, which migrated to the US in the early colonial period.

1 ounce Marconato less cinnamon syrup, little bit more orange juice

This was great. We did have a little champagne left over from earlier so we used that instead of the club soda. I think there is a mistake - it asks for sugar syrup and cinnamon syrup. No metion of soda.
