A few years back the kids and I went to Cape May, NJ with my mother to visit an old friend of the family. One night we sat out on the balcony of our hotel overlooking the beach sipping the nectar of the Gods, I'm telling ya. Mom's friend is one of those people who bends over backwards for the care and comfort of anyone and their brother, hospitality being her middle name. She brought us a big pitcher of this thirst quencher, knowing we had spent a long day traveling and needed a reprieve. I brought the recipe home with me.
Watermelon Sangria
1 bottle white wine - don't use an expensive kind
3/4 cup watermelon schnapps
1/2 cup white cranberry juice
2 cups cubed or scooped watermelon
2 limes, cut into half wheels
Combine all ingredients in large glass pitcher and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for atleast four hours. Serve over ice.
If you've never been to Cape May, it's a lovely old seaside town at the far end of the Jersey Shore... Many victorian homes and inns, great food, a kid-friendly beach and lots of shopping. It still has the seaside hometown feel, and yet it's not far from the big parks and attractions that the younger crowd seek, making it a great family destination. The fresh ground coffee at Kiss The Cook is the best I've ever had, especially the Creme Brulee. You can actually have it shipped!...
Those houses are to die for gorgeous... and I'm all over that Sangria recipe girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteThose house are beautiful! House here in Australia are boring compared to those!
ReplyDeletewow! sounds wonderful, this is one of those times I wish I was no allergic to alcohol!
ReplyDeleteCape May sounds like a great town to visit and I will join you for some drinks.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna have to get a watermelon when I go to the store later today! This sounds fabulous.

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of white wine though? I want to make some for the weekend for certain.
YUM...sounds so refreshing! Especially with the hot weather we've had lately. And I LOVE anything with watermelon!! Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great......I wish I had a pitcher right now.
ReplyDeleteOh man, after the day I've had, I could sure go for that watermelon sangria!! Love the pictures, Karen, thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteCape May is gorgeous - we went several years ago for my sons graduation from the Coast Guard Training Center. We were there in November, but I could just imagine it in the height of summertime. Now add a pitcher of watermelon goodness and the picture is complete!
