Craving a refreshing sip that transports you straight to a tropical paradise? This Tropical White Sangria is your passport to a sunny, flavor-packed escape. Loaded with juicy fruits and a splash of exotic spirits, it’s the perfect blend for any warm-weather gathering.
White wine: Choose a crisp variety like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio to balance the sweetness of the fruits and liqueurs.
Pineapple juice: Adds a sweet, tangy base that ties all the tropical flavors together.
Orange liqueur: Enhances the citrusy notes, complementing the fresh fruit.
Coconut rum: Introduces a hint of coconut flavor that’s quintessentially tropical.
Mango, pineapple, orange, strawberries: These fresh fruits infuse the sangria with natural sweetness and vibrant color.
Mint leaves: Offer a refreshing twist, adding a layer of coolness that lifts the drink.
Club soda: Adds a fizzy touch, making each sip light and bubbly.
Ice cubes: Essential for serving, keeping your sangria chilled and refreshing.
This tropical sangria pairs beautifully with light appetizers like shrimp cocktail, fresh ceviche, or a vibrant fruit salad. For a full meal, consider serving it alongside grilled seafood or chicken. It’s the ideal drink for a summer barbecue or beach-themed party.
Start by grabbing a large pitcher; you’ll need plenty of space to mix all these delightful flavors. Pour in the white wine, pineapple juice, orange liqueur, and coconut rum. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
Next, add your diced mango and pineapple. These fruits will soak up the liquid and release their flavors over time. Toss in the sliced orange and strawberries for added sweetness and a pop of color.
Gently stir in the mint leaves. You don’t want to bruise them too much—just enough to release their aroma and flavor.
Pop the pitcher in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This waiting period allows all the flavors to meld beautifully. It’s worth the patience!
Just before serving, pour in the club soda. This will add a refreshing fizz without diluting the flavors.
Fill your glasses with ice cubes, pour over the sangria, and garnish with extra mint leaves if you’re feeling fancy.
