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!

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.

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!

  1. This sounds delicious! If serving right away you could try using frozen pineapple and cherries instead of ice to keep it from getting watered down 🍹 Cheers

    1. Hi Pam! The original recipe doesn’t call for cream of coconut, it calls for coconut rum.

    2. Why remove the cream of coconut? This recipe was so much better with it in 🤷🏻‍♀️

  2. 5 stars
    This sangria is delicious. First time my friends drank the entire pitcher and asked for more. A real keeper.

  3. Could I use grenadine instead of maraschino cherries and the juice for the red color? Do you think that would alter the flavor a ton?

    1. You’ll drain the pineapple juice, but reserve, because we want to control how much to add. You want 1 ½ cups pineapple juice, from about 2 cans of chopped pineapple. Then you’ll add 1 ½ cups chopped pineapple.

  4. This looks fantastic and it will be wonderful for my summer themed ladies picnic. One question what is the best way to pour the sangria, so everybody gets some of the pineapple.

    Delicious, made this recipe over the weekend on a camping trip. A little day drinking. It’s was a hot and lasted for a very short time. lol thanks for sharing.
