Tropical Sangria combines sweet white wine with tropical fruits and fruit juices! Perfect sangria recipe for summer – it’s like a mini vacation in a glass!
Let’s get right down to business. This tropical SANGRIA recipe! If there’s one thing you should know about me (and probably do by now), it’s that I love a good sangria. Especially in summer! There’s just something about it – the sweetness, the fresh fruit, the endless possibilities…..yes, sangria and I are good friends.
I’ve made plenty of pitchers of it over the years, and of course I have my favorites. Like my Citrus Sangria, my Plum Sangria, my Lemon Blackberry Sangria, and most definitely my Strawberry Shortcake Sangria. And, of course, you can never go wrong with Classic Red Sangria, amiright? But this Tropical White Wine Sangria. It’s the BEST! A game changer, you guys!
It’s the only sangria I’ve made that literally transports you. Takes you away. Makes you feel like you’re somewhere else….somewhere warm….somewhere TROPICAL! Which means it perfect, not just for summer, but for all year round. Because we could all use a little more of the tropics in our lives, don’t you think?
Fresh Tropical Sangria Ingredients
This tropical sangria recipe starts with sweet white wine and then we add:
- Malibu rum
- orange juice
- pineapple juice
- ALL of the tropical fruits
This easy summer sangria takes just 5 minutes to make, gets better with time, and is definitely a “love at first sip” kind of drink. Best of all, it’s SO easy! Perfect for summer parties, cookouts, or drinks with friends on the patio. A vacation in a glass, if you will. (And I really hope you will!) Cheers!
Serving Suggestion:
Serve the tropical sangria up with some tropical foods like coconut shrimp with mango dipping sauce, or maybe some chips and fresh tropical fruit salsa.

Cathy Trochelman says
thanks!
Kim says
This recipe looks delicious! Question….I am not a sweet wine drinker. How strong is the wine flavor? Thanks!
Cathy Trochelman says
In that case, I would use a dryer wine, like a brut sparkling!
Kelly says
Trying to make this into a big 3.5 gallon container. How many times should I double this recipe?
Alexis says
Did you figure it out? If so please share! I’m making a big batch tomorrow and not sure of ratios
Mindy says
I doubled it in a pitcher about that size.
sumit says

Great to hear! Cheers!
Nancy says
How long in the fridge would this last? Couple days at most? It looks delish and i can’t wait to try it.
Cathy Trochelman says
I would say it lasts 2-3 days. Hope this helps!
Gary Hoffman says
The ingredients call for 3/4 cup or a “small can” of pineapple juice. Are you using a can of frozen juice?? Not completely clear.
Carol Piestrak says
It is the small can out of the 6 pack you buy at the supermarket (just like the small cans of tomato juice in the six pack) on the supermarket shelves with the juices like tomato, cranberry, etc.
Cathy Trochelman says
Yes! thats exactly what I meant.
Cathy Trochelman says
not frozen, one of the smaller cans that comes in a pack of 6 or 8.
Taylor says
Should I make it the night before I have a party or right before the party starts? Thank you in advance.
Taylor
Heather says
Did you get your answer? I was wondering how far in advance can I make this? 3 or 4 hours, or longer?
Kim says
it’s probably too late for you, but better to make it 24 hours in advance,
Jacqueline says
I made it twice this summer and I doubled the recipe (I brought it to large parties, lots of people to share with!) it made almost a gallon.
The first time I made it about 3 hours prior to the party and it was delicious! Very fresh, pretty and you can taste all of the different fruit flavors.
The second time I made it the day prior to serving, and the fruit colors dulled, and kind of blended together. The fruits all tasted the same. Still delicious, but not as crisp, pretty or fresh. Also the 2nd time, my hockey mom friends passed out drunk by 9pm unlike the first batch LOL!! I would stick with the 3-4 hours prior to serving! Cheers 🙂
Melissa says
Yes can you share Thank you
Cathy Trochelman says
Yes, a few hours in advance would be fine.
Cathy Trochelman says
I would prep the fruit, cut it all up and add it a couple hours before, then add the sparkling wine, prosecco, or what ever you choose, right before serving.
Sarwat says
How to make this in a virgin option without alcohol
Tyler says
Substitute the wine for white grape juice, & skip the rum.
Cathy Trochelman says
Refreshing!
Pattee says
I was raised on a farm in central Texas and we had wild Mustang Grapes. Every year Momma picked grapes and made them into grape juice, jelly and wine. So my taste for wine is the Wild Mustang Grapes. I am not much of a wine drinker. My taste buds only liked Mustang Wine. Does anyone know another wine that is very similar to Mustang Grape Wine? All reply’s are appreciated.
Harold lindsey says
Muscadine wine.
Cathy Trochelman says
From what I understand, Mustang grapes are very dry and bitter. I would try a dry red Cabernet to compare? Some cabs can be juicy and sweeter, but some have more tannins and tend to be dry.
Cathy says
Can a reisling be used instead of sweet wine?
Cathy Trochelman says
Sure! or Prosecco even!
Kim says
I Have an Alergy to rum, has anyone tried vodka?
Thank you
ANNE Marie says
What size bottle of Moscato to the rest of the ingredients
Heather says
Did you ever get a reply for this question lol? I was wondering the same thing. 🙂
Daphne says
750 ml bottle
Cathy Trochelman says
750 ml Bottle
Eileen says
This is delish! Made multiple pitchers for the dinner party and it was a hit.
PATTY says
Did you use moscato?
Cathy Trochelman says
Prosecco! or if you don’t want sparkling you could also use a pinot grigio
Alberta says
Can Barefoot Moscato deliciously sweet be used vs Barefoot Moscato Spritzer OR Barefoot Crisp White Spritzer,
Cathy Trochelman says
Sure!
Mary Rogers says
What are you poring in the glass after you put some of the sangria mixture in there. I love coconut rum with pineapple and a splash of banana liquor. I think I would really love this. Although I have a problem with orange juice with my stomach
Mary says
Any answer on this. Would like to make tomorrow
Kana says
I make this all the time watching sunsets on the lanai over the ocean here in Hawaii. I like a crisp white Barefoot Spritzer with a Spanish Torrontes wine and fresh white pineapple, honey tangerines, lemon, lime and some starfruit all grown right on my property over the ocean. Aloha!
Cathy Trochelman says
Sounds amazing! Perfect for a sunset in Hawaii!
Natalie says
This sangria looks so refreshing and delicious! Will definitely make it soon 🙂
Heather says
What size bottle of Moscato should I use for this?
Cathy Trochelman says
750ml size, you could also use prosecco!
Cathy Trochelman says
750 ml bottle
Mindy says

Linda says

Denise says
Looks delish. Anyone try it with grapefruit juice instead or orange juice?
Linda Cummings says
This is absolutely the best! Made it yesterday for a pool party in our 95 degree weather. Everyone loved it. This will be on my summer party menu going forward! Thank you!
Cathy Trochelman says
Awesome!
M'Shel says
I made this for a party last night, and it was absolutely delicious! I was unsure about the Malibu Rum once I found it’s coconut flavored, but it totally made the difference between good and ohmygoshthisisincredible! I made 3 pitchers and have 1/2 of one leftover, so I plan to enjoy the rest by the pool today. Thanks for sharing!
Cathy Trochelman says
Fun! Yes, Malibu is super delish because of the coconut!
