Watermelon Sangria Recipe

This is a beautiful drink that is exactly what you need when it is super hot outside this summer.  The chilled watermelon juice is refreshingly simple and is unexpected for a sangria.  Plus, this recipe doesn't use any processed sugar so you can really taste the natural flavors.  So, sit out on your patio and enjoy!

12 cups of seedless watermelon, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes

1 bottle of sweet white wine ( since we are not adding processed sugar or using a simple sugar I like to use something sweeter- but it is all your preference, I used Moscato)
1 cup of vodka

1/4 cup of agave nectar
1/2 cup of triple sec
1/2 cup of fresh blueberries

Juice of 1 lime

Lemon-Lime Soda

Fresh mint (optional)

Ice

1.  In a blender puree the watermelon.  Pour mixture through a fine strainer into a pitcher.  

2.  Add the vodka, agave nectar, triple sec and lime juice to the pitcher and stir until everything is well combined.  Add the blueberries.

3.  Cut the juiced lime into slices and add to pitcher.  

4.  Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the fruit flavors can fully develop.  Add ice to glasses and add the watermelon mixture.  Top off with lemon-lime soda and decorate with fresh mint.
