Had your fill of munching on watermelon? How about sipping on it instead! While scooping out the watermelon might get a little messy, trust us, it’s totally worth the effort. This refreshing, big-batch cocktail comes together in a breeze, and serving it right out of the watermelon is guaranteed to wow your guests. Any bottle of white wine will do, but we highly recommend trying it with moscato for an extra delightful twist. (If you’ve tasted our Giggle Juice, you know the deal.)
Watermelon Sangria
Ingredients
- 1 Large watermelon
- 1 750-ml bottle white wine, chilled
- 2 cups white rum

- Step 1: Slice off the top third of the watermelon lengthwise (keep it for later). Score the fruit with a knife, then scoop out the watermelon flesh using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, and transfer it to a blender.
- Step 2: Blend the watermelon until smooth. If you prefer, you can strain out the seeds.
- Step 3: Stir in the white wine, rum, seltzer, and lime juice until well combined, then add the lime slices and fruit.
- Step 4: Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, then serve and enjoy the fruity goodness!
