Spicy Watermelon Sangria
Yield: serves 4 Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 (750mL) bottle dry rosé
1 cup watermelon juice
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup grand marnier
2 cups club soda, plain or whatever flavor you’d like
1 1/2 cups of watermelon balls
1 pint of strawberries, sliced
1 giant handful fresh mint

for the rim

2 teaspoons ancho chili powder + 1 tablespoon sugar, stirred together

Directions:

To make the watermelon juice, take 4 cups fresh watermelon cubes and place them in the blender. Blend until they are pureed totally then strain the mixture over a glass. Now you have watermelon juice!

Add all of your fruit to the bottom of a pitcher. Pour your wine, watermelon juice, brandy, grand marnier and club soda over top and stir. This tastes great when it sits in the fridge and “marinates” for a bit. To serve, rim a glass with a lime wedge and dip it in the ancho chili sugar. Add ice and some of the boozy fruit and pour the sangria over top.
