Vacation in a Pitcher: The Sangria That’s Starting A Flavor Fiesta!

Nothing says tropical escape like a glass of Piña Colada Sangria. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or hosting a summer BBQ, this refreshing cocktail brings together the best of both worlds: the sweet, creamy flavors of a piña colada, and the light, fruity vibe of classic sangria. It’s the ultimate summertime sipper.

I first made this drink for a friend’s outdoor birthday party, and it instantly became a crowd favorite. Imagine the smoothness of coconut milk blending with pineapple juice, mixed with white wine and a splash of rum—each sip tastes like a mini vacation.

This recipe shines with its balance of tropical sweetness and crisp wine acidity. The addition of fresh pineapple chunks and a few maraschino cherries adds texture and a pop of color, while a hint of lime brightens everything up. Pair it with Hibachi Shrimp for a perfect summer menu that brings a bit of island flavor to your next gathering.

I can’t wait for you to try this! Let me know if you add your own twist—this sangria is made for experimenting.
