Need to cool down during this beautiful heat wave? Grab some fresh fruit and a bottle of red wine and mix yourself some sangria! This is a blended version of the classic summertime drink and you can make each glass one a time to ensure maximum deliciousness.
what you need:
a blender
red wine (i used Red Bicyclette’s Pinot Noir)
frozen blueberries
sliced fresh peaches (leave the skins on if you like pulpy goodness)
1 oz of gin
honey
pull it together:
In your blend, pour in as much wine as you can fit into your chosen glass. Could be a lot, could be a little. I ain’t here to judge – its summer! Next toss in the frozen blueberries (these will make your sangria smoothie nice and cold) and 3/4 of the sliced peaches. Douse the mixture with one ounce of gin and a spoonful of honey to sweeten it u p a bit. Blend until smooth and frothy. Serve up in your glass and garnish with the remaining peach slices.
What do you put in your sangria? I am thinking a citrus sangria with white wine or a light prosecco might be my next experiment!
These look delicious, and so pretty! Let’s please include these next time we hang out!
I think that is definitely an excellent plan. Let’s try out the citrus one I want to try!
Hi there! I was just checking out blogs from the Alt readership class
I think it is so funny that you did a post on this, because I just made almost the same thing the other day and thought about blogging about it! I wanted a fruit smoothie like drink, but I didn’t have any suitable liquid, so I poured in red wine- Lambrusco. I used some frozen watermelon and blueberries. I will have to try your version next time!
