To help celebrate Thanksgiving (November 24), I’ll post a new recipe every Friday in November (including the Friday after Thanksgiving). But these won’t be the usual Thanksgiving recipes. The recipes I’ll be posting are designed to help you out of various Thanksgiving dilemmas – like this one.
THE DILEMMA: You’ve suddenly remembered why Thanksgiving is your favorite holiday (more delicious food than you can shake a drumstick at) and your least favorite holiday (a crowded house full of people you’re glad you only have to see once a year).
THE SOLUTION: Watermelon Wine Spritzers
WHY IT WORKS: The first ingredient listed below.
THE RECIPE:
- 1 bottle chilled Chardonnay
- 2 cups seedless watermelon, cut in small cubes and chilled
- 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup
- 12 ounces chilled sparkling mineral water
INSTRUCTIONS: Divide the watermelon among 6 to 8 white wine glasses (or combine in one giant wine glass for yourself). Divide the wine, grenadine, and sparkling water among the glasses and give them a quick stir. Serve immediately. Repeat as needed.
