Lisa's Watermelon Sangria

What a relaxing 4th of July weekend we had!

We carried this delicious Sangria with us to the bay 

as we watched the fireworks...

A delicious way to begin the holiday weekend!

Lisa's Watermelon Sangria

The ingredients I used:

Watermelon

1 bottle of Rosato red wine--or your favorite

1 jar of maraschino cherries--because they're my favorite!

3 oranges

1 recipe of simple syrup=1 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup water

32 oz club soda

You can certainly add any other fruit of your choice--I think any other melon and limes would be delish!

This particular wine makes a delicious Sangria 

and can be found at Walmart...

My watermelon imported all the way from Milton, FL :)

Cut it in pretty chunks like this...

I filled my pretty jar...

Add the oranges, cherries and their juice and the simple syrup...

I am oh so excited about the cherries!!!

I added the wine...

Breathtaking!

I put it in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors combine...

Right before serving, add the club soda...

So delicious and refreshing!
