NEW VIDEO!! Sweet strawberries and cherries, super refreshing watermelon and mint and just enough spicy jalapeno to lightly infuse the wine. Served icy cold, this is going to be the most popular drink at your next party!
I can’t believe we are into August already. Like it’s really tripping me out. Everything has been such a whirlwind with my work and Coco’s work schedule (ummm, I didn’t think I would be worrying about that for another 15 years!)that the summer has just kind of flown by. So I feel like i really need to soak it up in the next few weeks while I am in town and massively appreciating the hot, sunny weather (but also our Air Conditioning!)
In our family, hot, sunny weather seriously equals Summer entertaining and that means gorgeous cocktails on-demand!!!
And I am pretty sure that this is really far up on the list of gorgeous cocktails.
I was inspired by my annual Summertime obsession with rosè, and now it has grown and morphed (as everything with me always does!) into my current favorite way to enjoy rosè: Spicy Watermelon Sangria.
Sweet strawberries and cherries, super refreshing watermelon and mint and just enough spicy jalapeno to lightly infuse the wine. Served icy cold, this is going to be the most popular drink at your next party!
Feel like you can play with this recipe a little too- you could sub apricots for cherries, Serrano or fresno chili for jalapenos and bubbly sparkling rosè would be so fun too! Cheers!
- 1 bottle rose
- 4 cups watermelon, balled or cut into bite sized chunks
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup cherries, pitted
- 1 large jalapeno, thinly sliced
- sprigs of fresh mint
- ice
- In a large pitcher combine the fruit, jalapeno slices and mint and pour the rose over the top. Refrigerate until the sangria is chilled and the fruit has absorbed the wine. I like to do a minimum of an hour and up to a few hours.
- Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with ice cubes before serving in glasses.
