Made with fruity rosé and fresh summer berries and cherries, Rosé, Bourbon, and Blue is the perfect patriotic sangria. Ready in minutes, this fruity sangria with bourbon is ideal for 4th of July, BBQs, and anytime you need a pitcher cocktail in a pinch.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
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.
To serve, fill individual glasses with ice and pour sangria over the ice. Garnish with additional blueberries, cherries, lemon slices, and rosemary if desired.
