This Wine Beverage is Infused with Veggies and Fresh Melon

— September 9, 2015 — Lifestyle
This sangria wine beverage adds unconventional flavors with the addition of fresh herbs and vegetables that might remind you of the spa. This cucumber-melon infused sangria is a light and reinvigorating take on the traditional wine and fruit cocktail.

Often at spas guests are greeted with cold water infused with cucumber as a relaxing beverage to enjoy. This sangria borrows a bit of that idea by including cucumber slices into a white wine sangria base topped with cubes of honeydew melon, fresh mint leaves and sparking water. The cucumber doesn't overpower the fruit giving it a subtle aroma that pairs well with the melon and mint.

This is an ideal cocktail for someone searching to enjoy something lighter than a red wine sangria with similar flavors.
