Make ahead and freeze this Strawberry Watermelon Sangria Slushie. Icy watermelon and strawberries blended with your favourite white wine make a frosty sangria for a summer day!
Strawberry Watermelon Sangria Slushie is on the menu today, ready for Canada Day and Fourth of July celebrations! Springtime brought this Grilled Pineapple Strawberry Sangria to the blog, but with summer weather here, it's time for something cold and frosty.
Celebrate with a bright red frosty drink!
This white wine strawberry sangria would be perfect to serve at your next small gathering with friends. It's quick and simple and oh-so-good!
Here's your short list of ingredients:
Ingredients
watermelon cubes: freeze ahead
strawberries: wash, hull and freeze ahead of time
orange liqueur: your favourite type, like Triple Sec, Gran Marnier or Contreau
white wine: any fruity white wine
honey: adds a little sweetness if your fruit is sweet enough
Instructions
Blend frozen strawberries and watermelon cubes with white wine, Triple Sec and a little honey to add natural sweetness, if your fruit is not quite ripe.
Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a wedge of watermelon and serve to your appreciative friends!
What type of white wine to use
I used Sauvignon Blanc, but any fruity white wine will be fine.
Store leftover slushie in a sealed container in the freezer for another day. Thaw slightly, then spoon into serving glasses.
Tip: Freeze organic strawberries and watermelon chunks when they are in season, so you'll have the ingredients ready to make this refreshing sangria at any time of year!
