I love a good sangria with fresh fruit, veggies or herbs. I especially love it in the spring and summer when the weather is beautiful, and you can sit outside and enjoy with some friends. I recently came up with this Cucumber Mint Sangria and decided to test it out with my family on Easter. They loved it! Yay!! Which means it makes a debut on the blog. The great thing is it’s only 4 ingredients and has no sugar added, making it a much healthier cocktail than the majority of the sangrias out there!
This cucumber and mint infused cocktail is the perfect spring sangria to make if you’re hosting a brunch, birthday party, bridal or baby shower or a party for one! Light, refreshing and simple, the combination of mint, cucumber and lime makes this a must-try spring sip! Makes approx. 8 glasses.
Ingredients:
- 1 chilled bottle of your favorite Riesling {Trader Joe’s has some great, inexpensive options!}
- 2 cups lime sparkling mineral water
- 1 English cucumber
- 6+ fresh mint leaves
Directions:
- Pour wine and lime sparkling water in to a pitcher and stir.
- Slice cucumber and add to pitcher.
- Add in mint leaves and stir.
- Chill in fridge for at least 1-2 hours to allow the cucumber and mint to infuse into the sangria.
- Cheers!
