Why Watermelon Sangria?

Ingredients for Virgin Watermelon Sangria
Here’s what you’ll need to make watermelon sngria recipe:
- 1 small watermelon (about 5 pounds, aka the heavyweight champion of your fruit bowl -seedless watermelon if you do not want to deal with seeds!)
- 2 cans of 8,4 oz of IZZE (sparking clementine juice for that effervescent sparkle)
- 2 lime, thinly sliced (adds a pop of color and a zingy kick)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced (balance is key, people)
- 2 cups cubed pineapples (or some other summer fruit you like)
- 1 bottle of sparkling water or club soda(1 liter)
- Fresh mint leaves (for a touch of coolness)
- If you want to add some herbal note to it you can use Elderflower Syrup or Forsythia Syrup
How to Make Watermerol Sangria Mocktail
- Hollow Out Your Watermelon: This is where the fun begins. Slice off the top of the watermelon and scoop out all that juicy goodness. Try not to eat it all while you’re at it—self-control is key here, folks!
- Blend the Melon: Toss that juicy watermelon flesh into a blender and blend watermelon until smooth. Strain the mixture to get rid of any pesky seeds. You should end up with around 4 cups of watermelon juice. If you have less, try not to panic. Just grab another watermelon and repeat the process. More watermelon, more fun!
- Mix It Up: In a large pitcher, add the lime juice, lime slices, watermelon juice, lemon, and small pineapple chunks. These colorful characters aren’t just for show—they infuse the sangria with extra layers of fruity goodness.
- Chill Out: Pop that pitcher in the fridge and let it chill for at least 2 hours. This gives all those fabulous flavors a chance to mingle and get to know each other.
- Fizz and Sip: Just before serving, add your soda water and IZZE sparkling juice. This is where the magic happens—your sangria transforms into a bubbly delight! Pour it into glasses, garnish with mint leaves if you feel fancy, and serve.
