sangaree
strong wine (but sometimes beer or even spirits), sweetened and diluted with water, often with a spice element or a float of something
A branch of punch evolved from Sang-Gris that worked its way around the colonial Atlantic eventually diversifying into a slightly shifty category of drinks by the 1820s, the Port Wine Sangaree being the most successful.

The example shown, above, is from Jerry Thomas’ 1862 book.
