Ingredients
- 750 ml white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 2 cups melon (cantaloupe or honeydew), cubed
- 1 cup green grapes, halved
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Directions
Step 1
In a large pitcher, combine the cubed melon, halved grapes, and slices of lemon, lime, and orange.
Step 2
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the fruit and gently stir to coat. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the fruit to release its juices.
Step 3
Pour the white wine and elderflower liqueur (if using) into the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Right before serving, add the soda water or sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently.
Step 6
Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
