So, many of y'all know I'm originally from New England, and while I miss the seasons of the Northeast, I have a serious love affair with summer. It has the best weather, clothes, food, and drinks. Whether it's by the pool, at the beach, or on the golf course, I could spend every summer day outside.
Today, I'm excited to share with y'all the perfect complement to any summer afternoon: fresh watermelon sangria. This is definitely my go-to party drink; with just a few ingredients, you can have a whole pitcher filled with delicious summer flavors. Please note that the following recipe is only intended for readers who are 21 years of age and older.
All you need to make your own fresh watermelon sangria are: 2 cups cubed watermelon, 8-10 fresh mint leaves, 2 limes (one sliced, one juiced), 1 bottle of white wine (I used chardonnay), and 1/2 cup of watermelon vodka.
Simply combine all the ingredients in a pitcher, stir it up, let it sit in the fridge for an hour for the flavors to meld, pour it into some plastic glasses, and add a cute straw to enjoy by (or in!) the pool. I love how refreshing this cocktail is on a hot day, and it has just the right buzz!
Now wouldn't this be the perfect addition to your summer weekend? Or, you can pin the image below for later!

YUM! Refreshing and it includes watermelon - my fav! Counting down the weeks until I can relax in the pool with an adult beverage again! And us former New England girls I think always appreciate summer the most since it goes by so fast, and we wait for it all year <3
