Refreshing white wine Mango Sangria is a delicious way to cool off this summer. Use frozen blueberries to add interest and color. They're delicious to snack on too! Make at least one day ahead for the best flavor.

Instructions
Place the blueberries on a small pan (I use a cake pan) and place it in the freezer at least an hour before serving the sangria.
In a large Ball jar (2 Quart Size or 946 mL) add the wine, cointreau, mango and lime. Stir. Add a few springs of mint. Place jar in fridge to chill, for at least eight hours. Replace mint sprig with fresh before serving.
To serve, give the jar a good shake or stir. Place ice in a low ball or small ball jar. Fill 1/2 -2/3 full of sangria and a few chunks of mango. Add simple to taste - I usually add about 1/2 ounce (14g) as this will depend on taste and sweetness of fruit. Top off with club soda. Stir. Add 4-5 frozen blueberries and a sprig of fresh mint.
Notes
*To make simple syrup, in a small saucepan, add one part water to one part sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Pour into a lidded container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
