Tropical Pineapple Coconut Sangria: Fruity, Creamy, and Sunshine-Ready With Every Sip

Tropical Pineapple Coconut Sangria is a vacation in a pitcher — sweet pineapple, creamy coconut, crisp white wine, and a splash of citrus come together in a glass that feels like sunshine, even if you’re sipping indoors.

It’s smooth, lightly boozy, and built for summer parties, brunches, and anytime you need a tropical escape in liquid form.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

• 1 bottle dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or unoaked Chardonnay)
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• ½ cup coconut rum (like Malibu) or coconut liqueur
• ¼ cup orange liqueur (triple sec or Cointreau)
• 1–2 tbsp lime juice (to balance sweetness)
• 1–2 tbsp simple syrup or agave (optional, to taste)
• 1½ cups fresh pineapple chunks
• 1 orange, thinly sliced
• 1 lime, sliced
• 1 cup sparkling water or coconut water (added before serving)
• Optional: shredded coconut, mint, or toasted coconut rim for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pitcher, combine wine, pineapple juice, coconut rum, orange liqueur, lime juice, and sweetener. Stir until smooth.
2. Add pineapple chunks, orange slices, and lime slices.
3. Chill for at least 2 hours (or up to 12) to let the flavors meld.
4. Just before serving, add sparkling water or coconut water for a fizzy or hydrating twist.
5. Serve over ice, garnished with pineapple wedges, mint, or coconut if you’re feeling festive.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with grilled shrimp, tropical fruit skewers, or coconut chicken bites
• Serve in wine glasses, tiki mugs, or hollowed-out pineapples
• Add frozen pineapple or mango chunks instead of ice to chill without dilution
• Rim glasses with lime + toasted coconut for full island vibes

Variations

• Rosé Version: swap white wine for a dry rosé for a blush-pink version
• Frozen Sangria: blend with ice for a slushy take
• Spicy Twist: muddle in jalapeño or add a dash of chili salt on the rim
• Creamy Dreamy: add a splash of canned coconut milk for a creamier body

Make-Ahead Tips

• Mix everything except sparkling water/coconut water up to 1 day ahead
• Add fizz just before serving
• Store leftovers chilled and finish within 2 days for best freshness

Final Thoughts

Tropical Pineapple Coconut Sangria is lush, breezy, and just the right mix of sweet, tangy, and boozy. It’s easy to make, even easier to drink, and guaranteed to bring a little island joy to your pitcher.

Whether you’re serving a crowd or just pretending your balcony is a beach, this is summer-in-a-glass at its best.
