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.

You know all the heart-health benefits of pomegranates? Well, mix that with the resveratrol in red wine, and you've got yourself a summer sangria recipe you don't have to feel guilty about. Not too guilty, anyway.
Ingredients:
1 lb strawberries, sliced, plus more for garnish
Arils (the seeds) from 1 pomegranate
2 (750ml) bottles red wine
2 cups pomegranate juice
Club soda, to taste
Directions:
Place the sliced strawberries and arils in a large pitcher. Add wine and pomegranate juice. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for six to 24 hours. Taste; if you'd like it to be sweeter, add 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar, honey or agave.
Pour the sangria with fruit into glasses and add a splash of club soda to each glass (this unsweetened fizz is excellent with the sangria!). Garnish with a strawberry, if desired. Feel free to add ice to your glasses of sangria. Do not add ice directly to the pitcher -- this waters the sangria down. Which, clearly, we don't want.
