Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups frozen honeydew melon balls
- 1 ½ cups frozen cantaloupe balls
- 4 oz midori, melon liqueur
- 8 oz moscato, sparkling Italian wine
- 16 oz sparkling rosé wine
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Prepare frozen melon balls. Cut honeydew melon and cantaloupe in half. Scoop out seeds.
- Use a melon ball scoop and scoop out 1 ½ cups of honeydew melon.
- Use a melon ball scoop and scoop out 1 ½ cups of cantaloupe melon.
- Arrange in an ice cube tray, or on a tray without touching each other. Freeze for 1 hour.
- In a large pitcher, add melon liqueur.
- Add moscato, and sparkling rose.
- Cut lime into slices.
- Gently stir, and add frozen melon balls. If serving immediately, allow to stand for at as close to 30 minutes as you can for the flavors to meld a little together. Two hours to overnight is the ideal length of time to refrigerate before serving.
- Pour into wine glasses to serve and enjoy!
- Sangria lasts in your fridge for about 5 days. Simply add a can or two of soda water, soda pop or some kind of bubbly water right before serving to refresh your sangria, if desired.

Notes
- Don't skimp on the chilling time. You want all of your ingredients to be nice and cold to give your fruits a chance to infuse the wine with flavor.
- Taste and adjust. As with cooking, you want to taste and adjust the recipe as you go to make sure it is to your liking.
- Use a large glass pitcher for a dramatic presentation or serve it up chilled in a tumbler or white wine glass.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours, though the wine may lose its bubbles while it sits.
- To keep it bubbly! Add everything except your sparkling wine together and chill until needed. Then, right before serving, add your sparkling wine.
- Gone flat? If your sangria loses its bubbles, top it off with some more sparkling wine or some bubbly water of some kind.
