Blue sangria

We are considering options for a signature drink with our beer and wine open bar and the caterer suggested blue sangria. Has anyone ever had it? It's not on their regular menu, so we can't just go to the restaurant and try it. I like sangria but have never had blue and even though blue is one of our wedding colors, I'd rather go with red or white if it tastes better than the blue.
Thanks!

    How are they turning it blue? With curacao? I think I'd be weirded out by dyed blue fruit floating in it... I like my food to look like it's supposed to look.

    It has blue curacao, and the fruit is blueberries, blackberries and grapes... so nothing is dyed

    Well, that sounds good then! Ask to try it with the curacao and without and see which one you like better.

    My standing rule for alcoholic beverages is "If it looks like Windex, it has to be good" think about it, Blue Hawaiians, Electric Lemonade, blue curacao, all yummy. Definitely try it before hand, but as a guest, I would definitely be curious enough to at least try it.

    Just make sure you're not a spiller. Blue + wedding dress = sadness!

    I love sangria, both red and white, so I'd def. try a blue variation of it. Sounds interesting! Since it's one of your colors, it would def. be a neat element too!

    I work as a bartender and I have made blue sangria before for a country club function. It is good, but after like two drinks everybodys mouth is stained  highlighter blue. I would stick with either red or white sangria, you cant go wrong with either one of those!!!!! If you need any good sangria recipes, would be glad to offer them up!
