I'm starting to see the first of the seasons blueberries popping up at markets and roadside stands. I've also started to notice myself making more drink/beverage recipes to share. Sangria has been the latest temptation...and of course, I finally gave in! One of my sisters and my niece & nephew came to visit last weekend and we made quick work of finishing off this pitcher...but it's simple and delicious and easy to make more.
Blueberry Pomgria
by girlichef
yield: 1 pitcher
red wine- 1 bottle (preferably one with blueberry notes...like a Merlot)
Sprite (or other lemon-lime soda)- 1 can
Blueberry PomWonderful- ~1 c. (tricky move w/ those samples...I'm hooked!)
Blueberries- big handful
Other assorted fruits, sliced thin (I used oranges, apples, lemons & limes)
Place sliced fruits and blueberries in bottom of a pitcher.
Pour all of beverages over fruit. Refrigerate.
Add more fruit to your glass and pour in the chilled Blueberry Pomgria.
oo la la...I'm so liking your refreshing drink...ahhh
What I wouldn't give for just one sip! It's humid and sticky - this is so refreshing and terribly delicious looking. Thanks for your entry!
Don't tempt me - how will I navigate this weekend if I am full of alcohol infused blueberries?
I am dubbing it, as hence your title...a 'Blueria'...
This is a brilliant idea!
Oh wow this looks soooooooooo good. I would do anything for a pitcher of this right now! Hmmm I do have blueberries in the house.....
looks beautiful, delicious and refreshing!
Feeling blue punch! Grill time, punch time!

Well, I have just got to make me some of this! It looks SO fresh and fruity!
You couldn't have made this at a more perfect time. The weather is just right.
Pass me a glass, please!!
Fantastic recipe...so colorful and I can only imagine how deelish! I've been dying for sangria....I'll be saving this recipe to make for sure.
That sure sounds good with the extreme heat wave we're been having! As always - YUM! :-)
My hubby is painting outside as we speak... I bet he would go crazy for a pitcher of this right about now! Looks fantastic!
Excellent take on the sangria! WOW WOW WOW
That is some gorgeous refreshment right there, I love it!
I'd have no problems with a glass of this. It looks and sounds wonderful.
This drink sounds absolutely delicious. Refreshing, what I wouldnt give for some.
wonderful drink, wonderful pics. well done...
I have a new way to spell fun and its 'blueberry pomgria' dang this looks and sounds so good!
My goodness-- this looks so good!
I am hoping not to drink the whole bottle of wine (I LOVE WINE) when I am making this!! That really does look so thirst quenching and YUMMY! Clever use of the secret ingredient.
Dang, why didn't you post this yesterday, I would have so loved to make it yesterday for my dinner party.
delicious
i love sangria. that looks delish!! Blueberries in this household never last long enough to do anything with.
Hey Dar,
I've been away from blogworld for a couple of weeks, and am now enjoying my catchup time...looks like you've made some good stuff here (and I love your book-food combo!). I'll definately be trying the falafel recipe (my husband has been after me to make some), this drink looks nice and refreshing too!
Cheers!
My sisters and I love sharing Sangria too. I'm the oldest, so I made sangria punch for each of their wedding showers. We ended up tossing some back before the guests arrived on both occasions!
Your blueberry version looks magnificent. I may have to test it out on my little sisters next weekend!
I can't wait to drink this at my virtual potluck! Thanks for playing :-)

Loving this! I just made some white sangria today for a cookbook review. This looks so fruity and good!
Love the idea of blueberry pomgria - so refreshing!
Pomgria....Brilliant! Sounds like the perfect thing to make for the 4th of July!
I really enjoy sangria and that looks delicious!!!!!
This looks really good, girlichef. There's something so refreshing about fruit floating in drinks :)
The cut up fruit really add an esthetic appeal to it.
I bet you can make this a virgin drink as well.
