Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium) Cantaloupe
- 1 whole (medium) Honeydew melon
- 1 whole (small or seedless) Watermelon
- 750 ml White wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 500 ml Sparkling water
- 120 ml Grand Marnier or orange liqueur
- 240 ml Fresh orange juice
- 60 ml Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and watermelon in half and remove the seeds if necessary.
Using a melon baller, scoop out round balls from each melon until you have approximately 4 cups of mixed melon balls. Set aside.
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the white wine, Grand Marnier (or orange liqueur), fresh orange juice, and lime juice. Stir well.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, stir in the granulated sugar for added sweetness. Mix until dissolved.
Add the melon balls to the pitcher, followed by the fresh mint leaves. Gently stir to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, stir in the sparkling water to add a fizzy kick.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass gets a mix of liquid and fruit.
Garnish with additional mint leaves or a lime wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
