Watermelon Sangria
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.

Wow, one already?! Geez. It feels like yesterday when your little guy was born. Ours is 8.5 months now. He’s just starting to crawl and that’s made our life a whole lot different than before. Haha! Today he managed to crawl over and put one of the dog toys in his mouth. Let’s just say Mom and Dad need a pitcher of this sangria in the fridge at all times! 🙂
Right? he is one. I can’t believe yours is crawling already. Oieee!! So fun! Prepare for the trouble of running soon 🙂
