1. Gather the ingredients. 2. In a large pitcher, mix the wine, blueberries, and frozen pink lemonade together. 3. Allow the flavors to marry in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. 4. Pour into Champagne flutes and top each glass with lemon-lime soda. 5. Serve and enjoy! Tips ---- Rosé can be either a still or sparkling wine. Since the punch includes soda, the still wine is a great choice unless you want to double up on the bubbles. Depending on what's easiest at the moment, use either fresh or frozen blueberries. This recipe originally recommended "1 bag frozen blueberries" which doesn't clearly define the amount. About 1 cup of the fruit is perfect, but, by all means, add more if you like! Frozen pink lemonade is a concentrate that's typically mixed with about 64 ounces of water. This recipe uses the wine as a substitute for the water. The lemonade should thaw rather quickly but would be best if you set it out for a little bit to make it easier to stir into the punch. None the less, the punch will need to be stirred again when you take it out of the fridge. If you prefer to avoid the frozen pink lemonade (or it's unavailable near you), use about 32 ounces of pink lemonade that's already made. You can even make your own pink lemonade by sweetening fresh-squeezed lemonade with strawberry simple syrup. Add less soda and lemonade to suit your taste and the lemonade you're using. As written, the recipe should yield around 10 6-ounce servings. If you use the recommended 32 ounces of prepared lemonade, the volume will increase to about 15 servings. Recipe Variations ------------------- Other types of berries, including raspberries and strawberries, can be used with or instead of the blueberries. For an interesting twist, try the punch with half apricot juice and half apricot nectar instead of lemonade.

1 Gather the ingredients. 2 Mix the wine, berries, lemons, lemonade, and sugar in a pitcher. 3 Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. 4 Add the lemon-lime soda just prior to serving. 5 Add ice in either the pitcher or individual glasses. 6 Garnish with a slice of lemon. 7 Serve and enjoy! Recipe Variations ------------------- Substitute the sugar in the Sangria with simple syrup. It not only mixes easier because there's no need to dissolve it, but the simple syrup is easy (and cheap) to make at home. All you need is sugar and water. Tip ----- Feel free to use a mix of white wines or stick with a single bottle. Either way, the bright citrus flavors of lemon and the sweet berry carries a refreshing blast to the palate. It's a fabulous summertime Sangria that everyone will enjoy. Beyond the wine and raspberries, lemonade is the featured ingredient in this Sangria recipe. This means that you should pay special attention to it and the best way to do so is to make fresh-squeezed lemonade. The myth is that homemade lemonade is difficult to make, however, that is completely false. The basic lemonade recipe requires just three ingredients - water, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup - and the ratio is a simple 2:1:1. It mixes up in a matter of minutes and your Sangria will have a cleaner, fresher taste if you take the time to make it.
