Watermelon Sangria Recipe

Ingredients

6 Cups Cubed Watermelon
2 Bottles Moscato [or other white wine]
16 Ounces Watermelon Vodka
24 Ounces Lemon-Lime Soda
2 Ounces Simple Syrup or Raw Honey [Optional]
Mint & Lemon Slices for Garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Blend cubed watermelon on high until well pureed. Strain through a fine mesh strainer lined with a cheese cloth into a pitcher. Be sure to squeeze the cheese cloth to get out as much watermelon juice as possible. Discard the pulp.

Add Moscato, watermelon vodka, and soda to the pitcher and stir together. Adjust sweetness as needed by adding in Simple Syrup or Raw Honey 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring in between to combine. Add ice, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Remove pitcher from the fridge. Stir watermelon sangria a few times to recombine [separation is normal the longer you leave it in the fridge]. Pour over ice into fluted glasses. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a skewer of watermelon.
