Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1 cup red wine (preferably a fruity variety like Merlot or Red Zinfandel)
- 1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
- 1/4 cup brandy (optional, for that sangria kick)
- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- Blend it up:
In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen blueberries, red wine, orange juice, brandy, honey, lemon juice, and ice. Blend until smooth and slushie-like. - Taste and adjust:
Give it a quick taste. If you’d like it sweeter, add a bit more honey or simple syrup. If it’s too thick, splash in a bit more wine or orange juice. - Serve it right:
Pour into chilled wine glasses or mason jars. Garnish with orange slices and fresh blueberries for a pop of color. - Sip & chill:
Serve immediately and enjoy with sunshine and good company.
Tips & Variations
- Make it sparkling: Swap orange juice for lemon-lime soda or sparkling water for fizz.
- Go white: Prefer white sangria? Use chilled white wine and swap blueberries for frozen peaches or mixed berries.
