Summer Sangria with Watermelon and Pineapple
You guys, it’s finally summer – my favorite time of the year. Warm weather, beach days, sunshine, summer produce, and of course, sangria.
Today’s drink? A summer sangria recipe with watermelon and pineapple.
So here’s how to make sangria! It’s made with just a few ingredients (including the fruit) and there are NO simple syrups involved. Just wine, brandy, fruit, and some soda for fizz.
And please don’t skip that brandy – it’s an essential part of the sangria recipe. Without it, it would just be a spritzer. And that’s all you need for sangria ingredients!
This summer sangria with watermelon and pineapple is made with white wine – and not just any white wine. What is the best wine for this sangria recipe in my opinion? Moscato. I love the sweetness of Moscato wine. It pairs really nicely with the watermelon and acidic pineapple. It’s also sweet enough that you can skip adding additional sweeteners to it.
