The key to this blueberry sangria is using a decent quality red wine. It doesn’t need to be a fabulous wine, but you want something that’s drinkable. Luckily, there are lots of red wines that are really affordable, and honestly, taste pretty good.
If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you can definitely use frozen ones. It won’t affect the drink that much, honestly. You’ll also want a good flavored vodka. This recipe uses Pomegranate Vodka from Van Gogh.
You’ll also want a really great pitcher or punch bowl. And while you can slice lemons and oranges by hand, there’s no reason to when you have a fancy chopper and mandolin slicer. You will find yourself reaching for a mandolin again and again. Stemless wine glasses are perfect for serving this blueberry sangria.
