Watermelon Sangria Recipe
Watermelon Sangria is a delicious summer cocktail made with fresh watermelon juice, fresh lime juice, and fruity white wine. It is refreshing, crisp, light, and bursting with watermelon flavor.
INGREDIENTS
Watermelon: Fresh, juicy, ripe watermelon is best for making watermelon sangrias. Be sure to not use watermelon that is pale in color and lacks sweetness.
Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice adds tartness and brightness to this sangria. Be sure to use FRESHLY squeezed juice instead of bottled lime juice.
White Wine: Select a fruity wine like a Moscato for this sangria.
Seltzer or Sparkling Water: To keep the sangria bubbly and light, finish off the cocktails with seltzer water or Soleil Sparkling Water in watermelon, blood orange or lime.
