If you've had enough of eating watermelon, maybe it's time you tried drinking it! Scooping out the watermelon might get a little bit messy but we promise it's worth it. This summery, batched cocktail can come together in no time, and serving it out of the watermelon is a surefire way to impress your guests. Any bottle of white will work here, but we imagine moscato would be particularly good. (If you've tried our Giggle Juice, you know what's up.)

Tried blending up a round of this sangria? Let us know how it went in the comments below!
