Watermelon & Cherry Sangria

This isn't from just one recipe. I came home with a bottle of white wine and knew I'd throw together some kind of sangria with my watermelon. We also threw in some brandy, cherries, and ginger ale.


The sangria in the glasses is a bit lighter in color because I put an extra splash of ginger ale in them. The sangria was sweet and light. Yum.

Quick Watermelon Sangria


This is my own recipe! I had a HUGE craving for 7up on my way home from FMSC. No, I am not pregnant. I think it was a hot day and I was thirsty. I started thinking about the wine in my fridge and the watermelon cubes that were just waiting to be used. I mixed all of those together and I find it very yummy.


3-4 watermelon cubes
1/3 glass red wine (I have a Red Truck mini barrel, it's like a little keg in my fridge!)
2/3 glass 7up
handful of frozen blackberries

As the watermelon cubes melt it gets kind of frothy and chunky on the bottom. Yum. I suppose these are a little on the weak side but I'm not the biggest drinker. They appealed because they were fruity and cold! My first glass went down so well! Who am I kidding? I've just finished my second glass! :)
