Ingredients
  

Pineapple Sangria Ingredients
  • 1 bottle (750ml) Dry White Wine Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio
  • 1 cup (240ml) Pineapple Juice Chilled
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Coconut Rum Optional, for depth
  • 2 cups (450g) Fresh Pineapple Chunks 1-inch cubes
  • 2 medium Limes Thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1/2 cup (15g) Fresh Mint Leaves Handful, whole leaves
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Simple Syrup Or to taste
  • 3 cups (500g) Clear Ice Cubes Large cubes

Equipment

  • 1 Clear glass pitcher Must have a pouring spout and sturdy handle.
  • 6 Stemmed wine glasses For serving.
  • 1 Long stirring spoon To reach the bottom of the pitcher.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit
  1. Core and peel the fresh pineapple, then cut into large 1-inch (2.5cm) chunks.
  2. Thinly slice the limes into rounds, removing any visible seeds.
Mix and Infuse
  1. In a large clear pitcher, combine pineapple chunks, lime rounds, simple syrup, and rum. Toss gently.
  2. Slap the mint leaves between your palms to release oils and add them to the pitcher.
  3. Add the white wine and pineapple juice. Stir gently to combine until the liquid is a uniform pale golden color.
Chill and Serve
  1. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the tropical flavors to meld.
  2. Just before serving, add large clear ice cubes to the pitcher and pour into stemmed wine glasses.

Notes

Always use fresh pineapple for the best visual texture; canned fruit can appear dull.
Chill all liquids before mixing to prevent the ice from diluting the sangria too quickly.
