Pina Colada Sangria Recipe

I love my Pina Colada Party recipe because it perfectly blends a full bottle of Moscato with coconut rum and pineapple juice, brightened by a touch of grenadine and fresh pineapple chunks. The orange slices and cherries add vivid color, and every sip transports me to a tropical escape. I am hooked!

I recently tried making a Piña Colada Sangria that totally blew my mind. If you love tropical flavors and refreshing summer drinks, this one’s for you.

I mixed a full bottle (750 ml) of Moscato wines with 1/2 cup of coconut rum and added 1 cup of pineapple juice. Then, to give it that unique twist, I stirred in 2 tablespoons of grenadine and tossed in fresh pineapple chunks along with thin slices of an orange.

I even added a 1/2 cup of maraschino cherries and topped the whole thing off with 1 cup of club soda or lemon-lime soda along with lots of ice. It’s kinda funny how it feels like a light pina colada wine, yet it brings out hints of tequila and rum drinks.

Trust me, this easy yummy cocktail is a perfect choice for a fun summer party or a chill birthday bash. Enjoy mixing it up and have fun!

FAQ

Pina Colada Sangria Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you’re out of Moscato wine, try a sweet Riesling or even a chilled sparkling wine to keep it refreshingly fruity.
• No coconut rum? Use a regular light rum with a splash of coconut extract or even a white rum to keep that tropical vibe.
• You can swap pineapple juice with mango or guava juice for a different twist on the tropical flavor if thats what you have on hand.
• If grenadine isn’t available, you can try pomegranate or raspberry syrup. It might change the flavor just a little but it’ll still be delicious.

Pro Tips

Here are a few pro tips to take this drink to the next level:

1. When mixin everything together, stir it gently so the fizzy soda keeps its spark—you dont wanna lose that satisfying fizz.
2. Let the fruit hang out in the mix a little longer; it really helps the flavors blend. Plus, you get more burst of fruity goodness with every sip.
3. For an extra cool twist, try chillin your glasses before serving so your drink stays icy longer.
