Wicked Pomegranate Blueberry Sangria ~ #SundaySupper
A fruity mixture of sweet red wine, blueberry vodka, and pomegranate juice.
Halloween isn’t just for the kiddos. Yeah, they look all cute in their pirate and princess costumes, but we deserve a little treat, too. After all, we’re hauling them around the neighborhood carrying their candy overflow. We earned our treat.
This week’s #SundaySupper is all about Halloween. That means goulish treats, decadent sweets, more candy than we know what to do with…and cocktails?
Cocktails are a Halloween must. It wouldn’t be a proper Halloween without an adult beverage. Am I right? Honestly, after handing out candy to thousands of Tinkerbells and hundreds of zombies, I may need a cocktail to spice things up a bit.
This Halloween I’m serving up pitchers of wicked sangria, a mixture of red wine, blueberry vodka, and pomegranate blueberry juice. It looks like blood but tastes like berries.
Enter cocktail fixin’s:
Did you notice the missing swig from the wine bottle? Quality control. It’s good!
Do you think it would be okay if I filled my plastic pumpkin with this wicked sangria (adorned with a cute orange striped straw, of course) and cruised the streets? Eh, that would probably be frowned up. We’ll stick with the candy.
Here’s why I love sangria:
- You can make it ahead of time.
- No cocktail shaking required. Just pour and serve.
- It’s stupid easy to make. Throw all the ingredients in a pretty pitcher and stir.
- Drunk fruit makes for a great snack when your sangria glass is empty.
- It tastes like fruit punch.
- It’s a cheap way to serve a crowd.
I used Stoli blueberry vodka in this recipe. I find that Stoli has the best tasting blueberry vodka. It doesn’t have that artificial blueberry flavor that some of the other brands have. It tastes like you’re biting into a fresh summer blueberry. It’s a little more expensive but definitely worth the extra dough.
I absolutely love the flavor of this sangria. It’s fresh, tart, and sweet all at the same time. If you like your sangria on the sweet side, add a few tablespoons of simple syrup. I used blackberry Not So Simple Syrup to sweeten my pitcher of sangria.
Don’t you just love the gorgeous red hue? It reminds me of blood, which fits in perfectly with the Halloween theme.
Warning: You may want to go ahead and make a double batch. Trust me, it’s that good.
- 1 (750ml) bottle of sweet red wine (your favorite)
- 1 (16oz.) bottle of pomegranate blueberry juice
- 1 cup Stoli blueberry vodka
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 2 Apples, cored and sliced
- 1 cup Strawberries, halved
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 cups frozen peaches
- 1 (12oz.) can lemon lime soda (optional)
- Add the fruit to the bottom of a large pitcher.
- Pour in red wine, pomegranate blueberry juice, vodka, and simple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Stir in soda if using. Serve over ice.

Sangria is always wicked, lol! Love the idea of blueberry vodka! Never heard of it before.
I love Sangria and can’t wait to try this fun recipe!
Love this, I’m passing the recipe on to my friend for her Halloween party.
Divinely good for Halloween or anytime, love it!!
That sangria looks good!!!
Barefoot is my favorite!! Love this sangria and it’s perfect for Halloween night.
Handing out the candy to little kids in costume is my favorite part of Halloween. :P But I’m sure it would be more fun with this cocktail!
We go to a Halloween party where there is a margarita wagon for the adults. We drag it behind us as we follow the kids!
Yum! What a beautiful drink! It looks so refreshing and pretty!!
You should definitely fill your plastic pumpkin with this! Now I’ll have a glass or two please. :-)
Yeah…I’m totally a sangria gal too! For all of the reasons you mentioned. This one is GORGEOUS!
Gorgeous photos Jennie! You can never have too many sangria recipes. This one looks perfect for Halloween!
This cocktail sounds delicious!! I seriously could drink a whole pitcher :)
YUM! Those new Barefoot Refreshers are delicious, I haven’t tried the summer red yet but I’m sure it works great in this sangria! What a great holiday drink
Oh my goodness, I just fell a little in love with this. I could drink a couple of glasses of this right now.
What flavors…. and a fun adult treat. You rock!
Love blueberry vodka! This is my kind of way to celebrate Halloween!

Sangria is amazing, this one is perfect for a nightcap
Thanks, Sarah! Gotta love a good nightcap.
This looks fabulous – I am such a sangria fiend! And I wholeheartedly agree, adults deserve a cocktail on Halloween. :)
It’s so nice to meet another sangria fiend. You can’t beat a cocktail that tastes like fruit punch. Thanks!
Blueberry bliss for grownups! This is indeed a party pleaser =)
Thanks, Kim! Adults deserve a treat, too.
What a fabulous sangria, it looks so refreshing and delicious :D
Cheers

Thanks, Uru!
UMMM, this looks awesome. I love it! Bring on the sangria.
Thanks, Sarah!
Oh yes, alcohol on Halloween is a must! Not only to deal with the cold when handing out candy, but to deal with seeing stupid costumes like Justin Bieber over and over…and over, and still having to give those kids candy ;)
I must try that Not So Simple Syrup. Everything about this sangria is calling my name!
Alcohol does make Halloween a bit more tolerable :) Thanks!
Forget Halloween! We are coming into the “pleasant to sit outside” months here in Dubai and I want a glass of that gorgeous sangria right now. Talk about pretty! Stoli is our vodka of choice but I’ve never bought the flavored ones. Must rectify that asap.
Sipping sangria outside is the best. I think Stoli makes some of the best flavored vodka. It tastes authentic and not artificial. Enjoy!
Beautiful sangria. I have never tried sangria before but now I have to give it a try!
Thanks, Dina. Never? You’re going to love it!
Your sangria sounds so good!
Thanks, Cindy!
This sangria looks so tasty! It’s been chilly and snowy here, so I could use a refreshing cocktail to warm my insides. Looks delicious! Headed to check out the other tasty recipes!
Thanks, Julia. I’m all about warming up my insides on a chilly day. Booze is great for that :)
Oh my… just looking at that sangria is making me thirsty! I’ve never tried blueberry vodka before, so I’m glad you recommended a brand (I wouldn’t have a clue what to buy). Sangria is right up there as one of my favorite drinks, so I’ll have to give this a try!
Blueberry vodka is amazing. I was introduced to it by a friend of mine a few years ago. I find that Stoli makes the best blueberry vodka. Happy sangria sipping!
After the day I’ve had I could totally use this drink!
Girl, I feel ya!

Jennie, you’re the best for always thinking of us hard working adults. Heck yeah we should get to indulge too! This sangria has me feeling awfully parched. And btw, I see nothing wrong with sipping this from a giant plastic pumpkin. Who’ll know? It’s innocent fun!
Sangria is amazing. This sounds like a perfect one for Halloween!
Sangria for an Halloween treat? You have my attention! Love the addition of the blueberry vodka! Yum, Hugs, Terra
Love the unique flavors in this. Perfect for fall!
Love love love this cocktail!! Pinned it for my enjoyment later on :)
