Hello! I had a great run this morning – went out for another tempo attempt. I was on track to be faster than last week, but my Garmin died at 9.5 miles. I did 10 and was cooling down the last mile at that point. Bah.
In happy news… I have a ‘recipe’ for Watermelon Sangria that just changed my life.
I put ‘recipe’ in quotes because it’s not technically a recipe according to the National Recipe Commission as that requires Pinterest quality photographs and 84 steps.
But this drink did make my weekend and Monday night significantly better.
This Watermelon Sangria Recipe is in honor of Drink Watermelon Day – it’s a real day July 24th!!
Even Beyonce celebrates.
Watermelon Sangria.
Ingredients: 2 bottles rosé wine, 2 cups chopped watermelon (chopped per my technique), 1 bottle sparkling wine or champagne.
Combine wine and watermelon. Let sit for a few hours. Add sparkles. Drink.
Repeat.
Question: Do you have a favorite ‘adult’ beverage? What is it?

gin and tonic!
Champagne plus anything. Or plus nothing, either way.
I wonder if you could use sparkling water instead of the champagne in the recipe? Think I’ll try it.
Summer cocktails all the way !!! 🙂
Sounds super refreshing, especially on a hot summer day!
My favorite adult beverage(s) are the ones that are the worst for you but since I don’t consume them very often, I think they are allowed. With that said, give me a frozen flavored margarita, piña colada, or any tropical “beach-type” frozen drink! A mudslide will do nicely as well.
Give me a Moscow Mule and I’m happy! (Even happier than Putin on a hunting trip!)
What a coincidence! I just posted today about my alter ego, Beyonce, and watermelon margaritas. I love me some watermelon with booze!

I mean, its serendipitous that sangria and sandía sound so similar, they MUST go together 😉
What pace was your tempo workout before your watch died?
I’m definitely going to have to try this! I’ve been eating SO much watermelon this summer!
I love a quick and easy sangria recipe!
The color looks fantastic! But my most ‘adult beverage’ I drink is Dr. Pepper, on rare occasions.
Otherwise, homemade grape juice KILLS me! Can’t get enough of it.
I am wine lover but I want to try watermelon sangria. I think it also perfect summer cocktail drink.
A refreshing FUN drink? Sign me up! It looks delicious!
Hate it when my Garmin runs out of juice before the end of the run. I’m such a stats geek at heart and hate missing the last part of my run stats!
I love summery drinks like this. I need to try it.
Lately I have been enjoying fruit flavoured cider as a refreshing summer drink, I also love anything with bubbles – Think cava, prosecco, champagne! This sounds like a drink I could make!
hmmm…does a good cup of coffee count? i don’t take alcohol.
Vodka gimlet with a splash of Sprite (zero if I’m making it at home) but I do have to try your watermelon margarita before the summer is over!
I just made a great summer drink last weekend. Pineapple and mango in a blender. (I used slightly defrosted frozen fruit. ) then stir in some spiced rum! Really refreshing. 🙂 and healthy. Lol.
My favorite adult beverage is wine. I’m definitely making that next time I have people over!
Sangria in the summer, mulled wine in the winter. Although, I would like to be able to drink seasonal beers… I’ve never had beer before.
I only wish i could have watermelon! I’m on low carb.
A straight up vodka and soda with lime is the only drink for me! I freaking love it!
Yum! I like juicing watermelon and mixing the fresh juice with a clear liquor like tequila or vodka and either mint or lime to make a cocktail!

That looks amazing!! Definitely making that this weekend 😉
I haven’t had a drink in over a year (not because I’m collecting chips… because the baby) but I LOVE Moscow Mules. Hell, I just love gin.
YUMMMM! I just bought my first watermelon of the summer yesterday (I have no idea what took me so long… whoops) and am pretty sure I’ve already eaten half of it. SO GOOD.
I would definitely drink that!
My favorite adult beverage is probably beer. I can’t do too much of the sweet stuff anymore – I may have had too much during college…
Definitely wine!:) but I love sangria in the summer,too! This looks like it would be a perfect summer cocktail!
