Have you heard? Sangria is one of the top food trends for summer 2019! Pure Wow says so! I’m on board with Sangria any season of any year! Especially this Watermelon Elderflower Sangria! It is fruity and floral from Pinot Grigio and Elderflower Liqueur and loaded with juicy watermelon and sweet strawberries. Topping the glasses with a bit of club soda creates a crisp, refreshing beverage perfect for a hot summer night! And bonus, it only takes a few minutes to assemble!

We got a little fancy with the watermelon we added to the Watermelon Elderflower Sangria. We used a melon baller to create these sweet little nuggets of yum! If you want to cube the watermelon instead, that’s not an issue. The Sangria will still be delicious! While you are preparing the strawberries and watermelon for the Sangria, go ahead and prep some extra and put them on cookie trays lined with parchment paper. Pop the extra strawberries and watermelon into the freezer for a couple of hours till they are frozen. Voila! You have Beverly Hills ice cubes! That’s what we call them here in the Clark house! They’re great because they don’t water down your drink as a traditional ice cube does. Plus they are pretty! Who doesn’t love that?!

The sliced strawberries and watermelon we added to the white wine turned it this beautiful pink color! I’m so in love with it! Know what else I’m crushing on? St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur. It has a light floral flavor that is a lovely addition to this sangria as well as cocktails. Try adding a splash to a Gin & Tonic and you’ll never drink one without it again! You can find it in any well-stocked liquor agency.
