Fresh cherries, zingy lime, and white wine make a knock-your-socks-off sangria in the form of this Cherry Lime Sangria!
I’ve been so pleasantly blown away by the popularity of my White Strawberry-Lemon Sangria – both online and at home – that I thought I’d try another fruity-citrusy white sangria combo in the form of this cherry lime sangria.
I like this combo as much – possibly even more – than the first. Fresh bing cherries give this light, uber-drinkable sangria a lovely pink hue. And you can really taste that sweet cherry goodness. Loads of lime slices enhance the cherry flavor … and then there’s the super-spiked rounds of watermelon. Yeah, this is pretty much July in a glass.
Like its strawberry-lemon cousin, this too boasts a nice, not-too-sweet flavor that makes it deliciously drinkable – possibly even dangerously so. You’ve been warned!
1 750mlbottle white wine(a dry-ish white wine is best – I like Sauvignon Blanc)
1/2cupwhite rum
4cupslemon-lime soda
Instructions
Add watermelon to a large pitcher, then the cherries, then the limes, then the lemons.
Pour the wine and rum over the top.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for 4 – 5 hours.
Remove from refrigerator and add the lemon lime soda. Add a few pieces of the fruit to your glass along with ice (if desired), and pour sangria over to serve.
Keeps for about 24 hours in the refrigerator; just be sure to add the lemon-lime soda right before serving.
