Pina Colada Sangria
Easy 5 ingredient tropical pina colada sangria is a refreshing summer beverage! This boozy sangria punch makes enough to serve a crowd.
Sangria is a wine based drink with fruit that is great for serving at large gatherings
This pina colada sangria is so easy to make because we chose to use canned pineapple and jarred maraschino cherries. They are both available year round, so you can enjoy tropical sangria anytime!
Add fresh garnishes to elevate this adult beverage into something you’d be served at an ocean side resort!
Pina Colada Sangria Ingredients
- pineapple juice
- chopped pineapple
- maraschino cherries
- white wine
- coconut rum
How to Make Sangria
In a large pitcher, combine the canned chopped pineapple (and juice), white wine, coconut rum, and maraschino cherries. Stir with a spatula to combine. Refrigerate until chilled.
Short on time?
If you’d like to serve this pineapple sangria right away, use chilled wine and add lots of ice to individual serving glasses. Avoid putting the ice directly into the pitcher because it will dilute the sangria once it melts.
Want it to be bubbly?
Use sparkling wine or add club soda.
What Kind of Wine Should I Use in Sangria
This pina colada sangria recipe calls for white wine. Choose one of these recommended white wines:
- moscato
- pinot grigio
- Chardonnay
- sauvignon blanc
- dry or sweet riesling
How Long Will Sangria Keep in the Fridge
Sangria is best consumed within 3 days. After that, the fruit may go bad. However, you can remove the fruit and seal the container for longer storage.
Tips for Making Sangria
- Save yourself some time and buy 2 large cans of chopped pineapple – that way you get pineapple juice and pineapple!
- If you’d like a coconut rim on your glasses, dip your glasses in a small amount of corn syrup and then dip into shredded coconut.
- Target no longer sells these pineapple straws, but Amazon does!

Looks delicious! How would you modify this for kids?
Hi Nate!! You can use coconut milk in place of the rum and carbonated water (or sprite) in place of the wine. The proportion mights be different, I would just taste while mixing :) You could also omit the carbonated water and just do the pineapple juice, coconut milk, and maraschino cherries with some ice if you want it blended!
Everthing looks so good . I don’t know what to make first!
Thanks Gertrude, it’s hard to decide, huh?!

Sounds delicious, will definately be making this summer. Try coconut rum and oceanspray cranberry pineapple juice over ice, Wonderful drink. My niece says that is a drink that could get you in trouble.
That sounds amazing! Thank you for the suggestion, Debbie!
This looks amazing, what did you use for the rim of the glass?
Corn syrup and toasted shredded coconut!
Hello! What size pitcher did you use? We are thinking of using this recipe but have a large drink dispenser. Just trying to get an idea of how much moscato and Malibu to get. Thanks!
Hi Taylor! Our pitcher holds 74oz. We have this one: https://www.crateandbarrel.com/all-purpose-pitcher/s047767
How long will this keep or do yu have to drink it right away?
Sangria is best consumed within 3 days. After that, the fruit may go bad. However, you can remove the fruit and seal the container for longer storage.
This recipe is great and a real hit! I tried making it once using pineapple rum which wasn’t as good as the coconut. At present, I have a pitcher in the fridge all ready to go for today’s July 4th barbecue. I definitely recommend!!!
I have made this 6 times already. Everyone raves about it. I add just a few spoons of cream of coconut to give it a creamy taste. I made it with moscato and white sangria but the moscato was so much better. A very dangerous drink. Lol. Better served on ice so it’s nice and cold.
Hello, I plan on making sangria for my sons wedding in a few weeks. Is there a way to calculate how much of everything for a 5 gallon container?
I would just repeat the recipe until it’s enough lol to avoid miscalculation
I will definitely make this drink
Can I use white sangria instead of moscato?
Definitely!
What size bottle of wine, 750ml?
Yes!
