Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup sugar super fine
  • 2 cups blueberries divided, fresh
  • 1 cup sweet dark cherries fresh, pitted and halved
  • 1 bottle 750 mL fruity rosé
  • ⅔ cup orange juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ cup bourbon good quality
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
  • 1 rosemary big sprig, fresh
  • 1 lemon one half squeezed for its juice, the other half thinly sliced, large
  • blueberries cherries, lemon slices, and rosemary sprigs, optional garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl with tall sides, combine sugar with 1/3 cup hot water. Using an immersion blender, blitz until sugar dissolves. (Or use a food processor or blender.) Add 1-1/2 cups of the blueberries and blitz again, until blueberries are completely broken up. Then set a strainer over a bowl and add the blueberry mixture. Strain the blueberry mixture, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid and blueberry flavor as possible. Discard solids.
  2. Pour blueberry liquid into a medium-large pitcher. Cut the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries in half and add to the pitcher. Then add the cherries, rosé, orange juice, bourbon, Grand Marnier, rosemary, lemon juice, and lemon slices. Stir together and then place in refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.
  3. To serve, fill individual glasses with ice and pour sangria over the ice. Garnish with additional blueberries, cherries, lemon slices, and rosemary if desired.
