summer party

Check out this easy recipe for the most crowd-pleasing watermelon sangria from Delish.com!

Watermelon Sangria

watermelon

(750-ml) bottle white wine,

c. white rum

c. seltzer

lime juice (from about 6 limes)

limes, thinly sliced

Is watermelon your favorite summer fruit?

Used Moscato and Bacardi Lime and was a total win!

This recipe was not clear as to how much watermelon to use. I found this out the hard way. I used all the watermelon and mixed with the listed ingredients. It came out much too weak. Had to add quite a bit more alcohol. I checked out several other recipes after the fact and all were more direct with the amount of watermelon to use.
