Melon Mint Sangria Recipes

Steps:

• With a large melon baller, scoop flesh from honeydew melon into a pitcher or large bowl. Add watermelon, cantaloupe, mint leaves, and white wine. Stir to combine and refrigerate 1 hour (or up to overnight). To serve, add ginger ale and ice.

Steps:

• In a large pitcher combine the rose, orange-flavored liqueur, cantaloupe syrup, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. Stir in the water. Pour into serving glasses and enjoy.
• To make Cantaloupe Syrup:
• Seed and peel the cantaloupe and then cut the melon into chunks. Transfer to a blender and process with the simple syrup until smooth. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix to combine. Store the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Stir together the wine, soda water and liqueur in a 3-quart pitcher. Add the mint, apples, kiwis and melon, and cover the pitcher with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the sangria to chill, at least 4 hours up to overnight.
• To serve, fill 8 to 10 glasses halfway with ice, then pour the sangria and fruit into each glass.

Steps:

• Cut the melon in half; remove and discard seeds and rind. Cut melon into thin slices. In a large pitcher combine melon, cucumber, lime slices, and the 12 mint leaves. In a small bowl stir together lime juice and honey until combined; pour over melon mixture. Add wine, stirring gently. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. To serve, stir in carbonated water. Ladle or pour into glasses. If desired, garnish with additional mint.

Steps:

• Place 9 cups of watermelon cubes in a blender; blend on high until very smooth. Strain juice through a mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Pour the wine, vodka, triple sec, and simple syrup into the pitcher. Stir to combine. Mix the remaining 3 cups of watermelon cubes, the lime quarters, orange sections, and blueberries into the sangria. Chill for 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Stir melon and sugar together in a large pitcher. Let stand for 15 to 30 minutes to draw out the juices.
• Just before serving, stir wine, brandy, Triple Sec (or other orange liqueur) and sparkling water (or club soda) into the pitcher.
• Add ice cubes to 6 glasses.
• Fill the glasses with sangria, spooning some of the fruit into each glass.
• Garnish each drink with a slice of lime (or starfruit) and a sprig of mint.
• MAKE AHEAD TIP: prepare through Step 1, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Finish with Step 2 just before serving.
