Even though it seems a contradiction for a sangria to be made with white wine (since sangria is named for its blood-red color), once you've tasted this festive thirst quencher it won't matter a bit! Pieces of mixed summer melons are the perfect match for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. From 'EatingWell.com' and posted for ZWT5.

SERVES 6 , 6 1 cup servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups melon, pieces (mixed colorful bite-size melon pieces, such as cantaloupe, honeydew, Ogen or Charentais)
1/3 cup sugar
1 (750 ml) bottle crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or pinot grigio wine
1/4 cup brandy
2 tablespoons triple sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
3/4 cup sparkling water or club soda
ice cubes
lime or star fruit, slices (to garnish)
1 small mint sprig (to garnish)

Directions

1
Stir melon and sugar together in a large pitcher. Let stand for 15 to 30 minutes to draw out the juices.
2
Just before serving, stir wine, brandy, Triple Sec (or other orange liqueur) and sparkling water (or club soda) into the pitcher.
3
Add ice cubes to 6 glasses.
4
Fill the glasses with sangria, spooning some of the fruit into each glass.
5
Garnish each drink with a slice of lime (or starfruit) and a sprig of mint.
6
MAKE AHEAD TIP: prepare through Step 1, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Finish with Step 2 just before serving.

I used Cava so I skipped the soda as the wine has it`s own bubbles! Garnished with a strawberry, mint and lime. I cut back on the sugar to 2 tablespoons. Sweet and good. Made for ZWT 5. Thanks for the delish drinks!
