Sweet and refreshing watermelon sangria ready in just 5 minutes! And because we liquify the watermelon so it quickly mixes with the wine, and serve the sangria over ice, you don't need to chill it if you don't have time. Serve watermelon sangria alongside some sharing plates or appetizers like a burrata platter or tomato bruschetta.

Notes

What wine to use? Dry white wines like pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, or chardonnay. Avoid using sweeter white wines like moscato, unless you like your sangria very sweet.
What to serve with watermelon sangria? Serve it with crudites or a burrata platter, or appetizers like Spanish gambas al ajillo, tomato bruschetta, citrus avocado dip, or even whipped feta with a side of crispy pita chips.
Can you make it ahead of time? You can make this sangria recipe in advance and chill it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
