How To Make Watermelon Moscato Sangria?

1. Slice the fruit: Wash the strawberries and orange, then cut them into thin slices.
2. Mix the drink: In a large pitcher, pour the Moscato, Ginger Ale, and watermelon syrup. Stir gently.
3. Add ice and fruit: Add the ice, strawberries, and orange slices. Stir lightly to mix.
4. Serve and enjoy: Pour into glasses and garnish with watermelon slices if desired. Enjoy chilled!

Recipe Tips:

• Use chilled Moscato and Ginger Ale: Make sure your wine and soda are cold before mixing. This keeps the sangria fresh and crisp without needing too much ice, which can water it down.
• Add ice just before serving: If you add ice too early, it will melt and dilute the flavors. Keep the sangria in the fridge and add ice right before pouring.
• Let the fruit soak for extra flavor: For a stronger fruity taste, let the sliced strawberries and orange sit in the sangria for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps infuse the drink with fresh fruit flavors.
• Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with less watermelon syrup and add more if needed. You can also squeeze in fresh lemon or lime juice for a little tartness.
• Choose a good Moscato: Use a high-quality, sweet Moscato for the best taste. A cheaper one may taste too sugary or artificial, which can affect the final flavor.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the Watermelon Moscato Sangria sit for a few minutes before storing. Pour it into a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Remove the fruit before storing and add fresh fruit when serving again.
