Servings: 8 Glasses
Calories: 188kcal
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of mildly sweet white wine
- 1 cup white rum
- ¼ cup St. Germain
- 2 cups fresh honeydew juice
- ¼ cup cucumber juice
- A sprig of mint - optional
Instructions
- Cut a few pieces of cucumber and honeydew away to chop and add to your Sangria later. It's always nice to ball the honeydew if you can. It's just so pretty.
- Juice the rest of your mellon and cucumber. If you don't have a juicer, but you do have a food processor, just cut up your mellon and cucumber into small pieces and process it until it's mush. Pour it into your mesh strainer and gently press the mush with a spoon over a bowl to catch the juice. You might want to further squeeze the mush in cheese cloth to get the extra juice.
- Pour juice into your container with white wine, rum and St. Germain. Stir gently.
- Add cucumber and honeydew fruit to your container and you can serve immediately. No need to let it sit over night.
- Pour over ice and garnish with a fresh sprig of mint if you want it to be EXTRA refreshing.
Notes
You'll require a juicer (or food processor, mesh strainer & cheesecloth) and a large punch bowl or jug for this recipe.
