Watermelon Sangria

Jump to Recipe

A refreshing recipe for watermelon sangria with either sparkling wine, dry white or rose.

TGIF friends! 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. We celebrated the baby’s first birthday this past weekend. Can you believe it?? He is ONE!! We had a small gathering of friends and family at our house and he had a great time showing off his new walking skills. I will share his cake and some birthday pictures next week with you but for now, let’s focus on this watermelon sangria.

Refreshing watermelon sangria recipe

There is just one month left of the summer. Can you believe it??  Where did time go? Needless to say, 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.
