Hey there, and welcome back, friends.

You are in for a refreshing treat!

Watermelon Sangria

A refreshing recipe for watermelon sangria with either sparkling wine, dry white or rose. This is perfect for any summer gathering or picnic.

Let’s toast out this week with a glass of watermelon sangria, shall we?

It has been one hectic week on my front and I wish I had a pitcher of this in my fridge for the weekend. 

During summer, we need to maximize our watermelon eating before they go away. Making these watermelon mint popsicles or these watermelon mojito coolers will help you out on this venture.

And if you like a refreshing cocktail for a warm afternoon, then try this sangria. It will NOT disappoint you. It’s sweet (a good bottle of Rose does that), refreshing and perfect for any hot summer day.

I hope you give this watermelon sangria a try before the end of summer.

Hello beautiful people! I am so excited that warmer weather is here (hopefully, it stays for us Marylander’s). Sunshine and warm weather mean more time outside with the kiddos. While you are soaking in all the sun’s rays, you need a refreshing drink to cool you down. That’s why my Watermelon Wine Slushie is perfect all summer long!

Sadly, summer is coming to an end. This weekend (Labor Day) marks the unofficial end of summer as kids are back in school, the weather starts cooling down for most of us on the east coast and apple picking becomes the next outdoor activity to do (I can’t wait for this!).

But before we head out of the season, let’s raise a glass to what was a quick, lovely and busy summer with these watermelon mojito coolers.

Cool, refreshing, easy-to-whip up and delicious. They are just what you want to make to use up the last of the juicy watermelons and a pitcher will be perfect as you get together with family and friends this weekend!!!

Every weekend is now time for grilling, picnics and summer delights!! When I think of summer foods, watermelon is always at the top of the list. You won’t find me without a few slices in the fridge all summer long as I buy a giant one every week we grocery shop. I just cut it up, portion it out for snacks and chill. It’s the easiest snack to grab and cool off with.

Unless if you make them into popsicles!! These watermelon mint popsicles are WAY better than just eating up cold slices of watermelons. They are refreshing, sweet and simple. Just perfect for cooling off after a day of playing in the sun. And since they are popsicles, they are literally the easiest things to make. It’s just blending watermelon, mint and sweetener of your choice!! Add lime juice and some rum and you will have a watermelon mojito popsicle to serve to the adults.

Now tell me this isn’t summer at it’s finest?

Have a great weekend friends!
