Blackberry Sangria
Here's another antioxidant-packed drink to keep you cool this summer: The blackberries infuse this sangria with a beautiful hue and flavor, and the ginger ale adds an interesting twist.

Ingredients:
4 oz white wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
2 oz blackberry-infused vodka (you can substitute straight vodka)
Handful of blackberries (fresh or frozen)
2-4 oz ginger ale

Directions:
In a pint sized mason jar, combine wine and vodka. Add enough berries to fill jar while berries are fully submerged. Cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, add ice and top with ginger ale.
Garnish with a sprig of mint.
