5-Minute Watermelon Sangria
This not-too-sweet watermelon sangria recipe is ready minutes! Rather than macerating fruit like a traditional sangria, I blend the watermelon so it quickly mixes with the wine, then serve over ice. It's a refreshing summer sipper you'll drink all season!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 8 cups cubed watermelon, plus more for garnish
- 4 limes, juiced, plus lime wheels for garnish
- 1 (750 ml) bottle white wine (I recommend a dry wine like pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, or chardonnay)
- 1/4–1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup Grand Marnier
Instructions
- Blend. To a blender, add the watermelon cubes (save a handful for garnish), lime juice, honey and a splash of wine. Blend until the watermelon has liquified, then pour through a fine mesh strainer into a large serving pitcher.
- Finish and serve. Stir in the Grand Marnier and remaining wine. Cover and chill in your refrigerator, or pour into serving cups over ice and garnish with the reserved watermelon cubes and lime wheels. Enjoy!
