Watermelon Sangria

I can tell I am dreaming of warmer days and the coming of Spring when I can sit on the patio in perfect peace, listening to the sounds of nature. My vision somehow always ends up with a cocktail, such as this Watermelon Sangria. Watermelon juice, found near the cold juices in the grocery store is the star of this pretty cocktail. I love this cocktail because it is fizzy and fresh! I mean, really, who doesn’t like bubbles?

Ingredients

Instructions

In a large pitcher, combine the watermelon juice, wine, Cointreau, vodka, lime juice, and vanilla. Stir.

Add the Swerve and adjust for sweetness. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.

Add the fruit and chill for at least 3 hours.

Just before serving, add the Prosecco. If you are serving a crowd, you can add the whole bottle to the pitcher, but if you are only serving a few, top off individual glasses with the Prosecco.

Garnish each glass with a slice of watermelon.

Watermelon Sangria

Refreshing watermelon juice, coupled with fruity flavors and the sparkle of Prosecco, is a cocktail to plan for as Spring approaches.
