Sangria tends to be a very pretty cocktail, and rosé-based sangrias might just be the fairest in all the land. Luckily for us, this cocktail recipe is just as delicious as it is beautiful.
Ingredients:
1 (750ml) bottle of rosé wine
1 cup strawberry flavored vodka
2 1/2 cups lemon-lime soda, like Sprite
1/4 cup stevia or sugar (optional)
8-10 large strawberries, hulled and sliced
Directions:
In a large pitcher, combine wine, vodka, and 1/2 of the strawberries. Taste for sweetness and add sweetener if necessary, and stir.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6.
Just before serving, add Sprite, the rest of strawberries and gently stir.
Serve over ice with strawberry garnish.

Ice
Mint and lime slices for garnish

Fact: mimosas are delicious. Fact: sangria is delicious. So, what happens when you create an ungodly (or rather, godly) combination of the two? A veritable taste bud explosion, and we mean that in the best way possible.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1 cup peach schnapps
1 bottle champagne
Directions:
Place the blueberries, orange juice and schnapps in a large pitcher and allow to chill overnight (or at least 4 hours).
While stirring, pour the entire bottle of champagne in the pitcher. The bubbles will flatten over time. Fill your glasses with ice and pour sangria on top allowing the blueberries to fall in glasses.
