Recipe Seasonal, Holidays & Special Occasions

Lime and Melon White Wine Sangria

What could possibly represent the flavors of summer more than lime, melon and white wine? Put them all together and you have a delicious and refreshing white wine sangria that will easily become your go-to summer beverage.

I am always looking for a way to enjoy citrus flavors in the summertime.  Well, all the time if truth-be-told! This Triple Lemon Layer Cake is just one example of my obsession!

Lime and Melon White Wine Sangria

I rarely venture outside of my favorite wines, and those who know me, know that I stick to varieties such as Reisling or Gewurztraminer as they tend to be a bit sweeter.

I recently discovered a new-to-me type of wine and after reading more about it and tasting it, I knew it would be perfect for a white wine sangria infused with citrus and melon.  

Chenin Blanc (pronounced shen-nin blonk) is the variety of grape and I purchased an inexpensive South African variety Boschendal’s The Pavillion Chenin Blanc at just $11.55 a bottle.  And, it just so happens to have aromas of citrus and melon!

What I love about sangria is how easy it is to make.  Oh, and how pretty it looks to!  And, did I mention how delicious it is!

A crisp, fruity and refreshing white wine sangria that is just the right amount of sweet. I have a feeling I will be making this several times before the summer is over!

You can substitute one bottle of sparkling water in place of one of the bottles of wine to lighten it up a bit.

This is so fruity and delicious, be sure to always drink responsibly and NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE!
