❤️Why you'll love this recipe
- It's a great way to use leftover watermelon!
- It takes only 5 minutes to make!
- The combination of strawberry and watermelon is SOOO refreshing!
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
sweetener: adds a little sweetener if your fruit isn't sweet enough. You could use honey or keep it vegan by using sugar or Monkfruit sweetener.
🔪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 glasses of this frozen sangria with a fresh strawberry or a wedge of watermelon and serve to your appreciative friends!
❓What type of white wine should I use?
I make this summer sangria with Sauvignon Blanc or Pino Grigio, but any fruity white wine will be fine.
Look for a dry, unoaked crisp white wine. You don't need an expensive wine to make this sangria slushie, as you'll be adding lots of fruit to it. However, you'll want to choose a wine that you'd like to drink on its own!
How to Store Frozen Sangria
Store leftover slushie in a sealed container in the freezer for another day. Thaw slightly, then spoon into serving glasses.
👍🏼Helpful Tips
- Freeze organic strawberries and watermelon chunks when they are in season, so you'll have the ingredients ready to make this frozen sangria at any time of year!
- Adding alcohol to frozen fruit keeps the mixture from freezing solid and leaves it in a slushie state. You can easily scoop it up and serve it in glasses. Add a spoon so you can scoop up all that boozy slush!
- This sangria slushie recipe is a great way to use leftover wine!
🍽What to serve with a sangria slushie
Bring on the summer appetizers and fun finger foods! Keep it simple and offer a big bowl of tortilla chips with homemade Guacamole or Strawberry Mango Salsa.
Or set out small bowls of Spanish Spiced Almonds or a platter of Prosciutto with Melon and Mint.
A plate of these easy Strawberry Whipped Feta Crostini will always be welcome, too. You'll find more ideas in this round-up of 20 Easy Finger Food Appetizers.
