Large Pitcher
Sangria dispenser
Ladle
Measuring cups
Serving glasses
- 12 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 bottle white wine Moscato recommended
- 8 ounces coconut rum Malibu recommended
- 12 ounces chopped pineapple canned
- 4 ounces maraschino cherries including a little bit of juice
Prepare the Fruit:
If you haven't done so already, drain the pineapple chunks to collect the juice. Set the chopped pineapple aside.
Measure out the maraschino cherries and include a bit of the juice for added flavor and color.
Mix the Sangria:
In a large pitcher or a sangria dispenser, combine the pineapple juice, white wine, and coconut rum. Stir gently to mix the liquids thoroughly.
Add the chopped pineapple and maraschino cherries into the pitcher. Stir gently to distribute the fruits evenly.
Chill:
Refrigerate the sangria for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sangria to chill thoroughly.
Serve:
Serve the sangria chilled. Use a ladle to ensure each glass gets a good mix of fruit and liquid.
Optionally, garnish with additional pineapple slices or cherry on a skewer for a festive touch.
Enjoy:
Enjoy this tropical twist on sangria with friends and family at your next summer party.
Pro Tips
-
Use fresh pineapple if available it adds a brighter flavor and texture.
-
For a slightly sweeter version, top with lemon-lime soda before serving.
-
If serving at a party, make a double batch since this sangria disappears quickly.
