Lisa’s Watermelon Sangria Recipe
[ingredients]
What a relaxing 4th of July weekend we had!
We carried this delicious Sangria with us to the bay
as we watched the fireworks…
A delicious way to begin the holiday weekend!
This particular wine makes a delicious Sangria
and can be found at Walmart…
My watermelon imported all the way from Milton, FL 🙂
Cut it in pretty chunks like this…
I filled my pretty jar…
Add the oranges, cherries and their juice and the simple syrup…
I am oh so excited about the cherries!!!
I added the wine…
Breathtaking!
I put it in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors combine…
Right before serving, add the club soda…
So delicious and refreshing!
