Description

This Watermelon Sangria is summer in a glass! Fresh watermelon, strawberries and lemons make it so seasonal!

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cubed Seedless Watermelon (or Enough To Make 3 Cups Juice)
• 1 pound Fresh Strawberries, Stems Removed
• ½ cups Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
• 1 bottle (750 Ml Size) Chilled Pinot Grigio
• 1 cup Strawberry Vodka, I Used Smirnoff
• ½ cups Triple Sec
• ½ cups Simple Syrup
• 1 whole Lemon, Sliced
• 1 whole Orange, Sliced
• 1 cup Blueberries

Preparation

Place watermelon cubes in a blender; blend on high until very smooth. Strain juice through a mesh strainer into a measuring glass. You should end up with 3 cups of juice. Set aside.
Place strawberries and lemon juice into the blender; blend on high until very smooth. Strain juice through a mesh strainer into another measuring glass. Set aside.
Now pour both the fruit juices into a very large pitcher. Add the wine, strawberry vodka, triple sec, and simple syrup into the pitcher. Stir to combine. Place lemon slices, orange slices, and blueberries into the pitcher and stir to combine again.
Fill individual glasses with ice and serve immediately or place in the fridge until ready for use!
Notes:
1. This sangria tastes great immediately, but is even better after a few hours in the fridge! You could even make this a day in advance.
2. Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water. I always make extra and store it in the fridge. Place 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water into a glass, microwave safe measuring cup. Microwave until the sugar has dissolved, about 90 seconds. This recipes uses ½ cup, so place the excess in an airtight container and store in the fridge!
