Summer Watermelon Sangria

There's nothing quite as satisfying as enjoying watermelon on a hot summer day. This summer staple is why we decided that making freshly juiced watermelon, our first ingredient in our mixer is the only option.

To fully capture summer in a glass, we also add berries, fresh thyme, lychee, and lemon. We recommend pairing this mixer with a crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc. This wine, in particular, has balanced notes of tropical fruits and nettle that compliment it perfectly.

Order this mixer off our F&F Seasons: Summer menu, or give it a shot yourself using the full recipe below!

Eat Well.
