Watermelon Sangria By PW

By srumbel

It’s precious and pink, and is so delicious and refreshing, it should be illegal. It’s almost too adorable to eat. I mean drink. I mean both!

Ingredients

• 1 whole Medium Seedless Watermelon, Washed
• 6 bottles (750 Ml Bottles) Rose Wine, Chilled
• 1 bottle (750 Ml Bottle) Champagne, Sparkling Wine, Or Moscato, Chilled

Preparation

Step 1

Note: This make a large quantity and serves 18-24 people! It can easily be cut in half.

Several hours before serving, slice 2-3 inch slabs of rind from around the outside of the watermelon, making sure there's plenty of red fruit attached. Slice the rind into 2-inch strips, then cut the strips in the other direction to make large chunks. Add the chunks into a large vat and add the rose wine. Cover the vat and stick it in the fridge to let it chill for at least 6 hours---more if you can!

Right before serving, stir in the chilled Champagne, sparkling wine, or moscato.

Serve in wine glasses...and use tongs to remove individual pieces of fruit. Yum!
