Blueberry Sangria
Looking for a fresh summertime cocktail recipe? Blueberry Sangria is just the thing. Stir lemon, orange slices and fresh blueberries into white wine and bubbly soda for a drink that’s as revitalizing and it is relaxing. Making it with the kids? A virgin version of this Blueberry Sangria is great too – just substitute apple juice for the white wine.

1 1/2 cups chilled white wine or apple juice
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (optional)

1 1/2 cups chilled lemon-lime soda
