Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of wine?
Yes, a fruity rosé can work well if you prefer a slightly different taste.
How long does the sangria last?
It’s best enjoyed the day it’s made, but it can last up to two days in the fridge.
Can I make it alcohol-free?
Certainly! Substitute the wine with sparkling grape juice and omit the liqueur and rum for a tasty mocktail.

Tropical White Sangria Recipe Walkthrough

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.
