Ginger melon sangria
Alcoholic beverages
This is a summer sangria if I ever saw one. All that's missing from this picture is a lounge chair and a warm summer breeze. The thought of three colors of melon floating in a bubbly, boozy sea is what inspired this recipe. Or maybe I just needed an excuse to actually use my melon baller (holler! because really, how often does that little thing get used?) This sangria is particularly refreshing, bubbly and vibrant chartreuse in color from the melon liqueur. It is neither heavy nor overpoweringly fruity like red sangria can often be. The flavors mingle more and more the longer the drink sits, the balls of melon absorbing the musty sweetness of the Moscato and the spiciness of the ginger beer. Might I suggest freezing a few of the melon balls while the rest of your sangria marinates? Plop a few frozen balls into each glass when serving, and your guests' drinks will stay cool and undiluted. Balling definitely isn't the most efficient use of a melon, with all the scraps that fall
