Beat the heat with our Summer Melon Sangria
Hey there, fellow sun-chasers ! 🌞🍹
Summer is in full swing, and that means it's time to up our refreshment game with a fun summer Sangria.
Whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard barbecue, or just looking to treat yourself to something fabulous, I've got the perfect recipe to keep you cool and smiling.
Introducing: the Summer Melon White Sangria! It's light, it's fruity, and it’s basically summer in a glass. So, grab your shades and let’s dive into this deliciousness.
What You’ll Need:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
Bunch of fresh mint leaves
1 bottle 750ml Sauvignon Blanc (hint: Our French Terres Blondes is perfect)
1/2 cup pulp free orange juice
1/2 cup Triple Sec
1 - 1/2 cups cantaloupe balls
1 - 1/2 cups honeydew balls
1 - 1/2 cups watermelon balls
FLOUWER Edible flower petals
Ice (because we all need to stay chill)
Directions:
Stir together sugar, water & 8 mint leaves in small saucepan, simmer over low heat for 1 minute to melt sugar and create a simple syrup. Cool to room temperature & remove mint leaves.
Stir together wine, OJ, Triple Sec, simple syrup in a pitcher. Add cantaloupe, honeydew & watermelon balls and chill for 2- 4 hours.
Serve over ice and garnish with a mint leaf and edible flowers.
Tips for the Ultimate Summer Vibes:
Make it a Mocktail: Skip the alcohol and use a non-alcoholic white wine (we have a great one in store) or a mix of white grape juice and sparkling water. It’s just as tasty and perfect for everyone to enjoy.
Play with Flavors: Feel free to add other fruits like strawberries, oranges, or even a few cucumber slices for a unique twist.
Party Perfect: Make a large batch ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. This sangria tastes even better the longer it sits, so it's ideal for entertaining.
So there you have it – your new go-to summer drink that's as easy to make as it is delightful to sip. Trust me, one glass of this Summer Melon White Sangria and you'll be transported straight to a sunny paradise.
Cheers to sunny days and unforgettable flavors!
