Now that watermelon season is in full swing, why not try something new with this sweet and juicy fruit? Instead of eating it, try drinking it! This Watermelon Sangria is perfect for summer gatherings.
Simply scoop out the flesh of a watermelon, add some white wine, and voila! You've got a delicious, tasty drink that will surely impress your guests.
Any bottle of wine will perfectly make this cocktail a summertime favorite, but Moscato, in particular, will hold everything better. Moscato is a delicious wine with a slight fizz and reviving nectarine, peach, and orange flavors. It's the perfect wine to match the watermelon's sweetness.
