Ingredients

Instructions

  • Peel and dice the mangos into 1-inch chunks.
  • Cut the fresh pineapple into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add the diced mango and pineapple to a large pitcher.
  • Pour in the white wine, pineapple juice, brandy, and honey. Stir well to combine.
  • Add the lime slices to the pitcher.
  • Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours to let the flavors mix.
  • Just before serving, add the club soda and stir gently.
  • Fill wine glasses with ice and pour the sangria. Make sure to include some fruit in each glass.

Notes

Store leftover sangria in the fridge for up to 2 days. The fruit will get softer over time but still taste good.
Add extra club soda to individual glasses if you want a lighter drink.
For best results, use ripe but firm mangos and fresh pineapple rather than canned fruit.
You can make this drink up to 24 hours ahead – just wait to add the club soda until serving time.

Tasting Notes

This tropical sangria offers a bright, sunny flavor profile. Fresh mango and pineapple create a sweet base, while the white wine adds crisp notes.

The drink starts sweet from the fruit, followed by subtle tartness from the citrus. The white wine brings a light, refreshing quality that balances the tropical fruits.

Initial Taste:

  • Sweet mango and pineapple
  • Bright citrus notes
  • Light wine undertones

The texture is smooth with small bits of fresh fruit adding interest. Ice keeps it cold and slightly dilutes the sweetness as it melts.

Finish:

  • Clean, wine-forward
  • Gentle fruit sweetness
  • Refreshing aftertaste

Each sip brings a mix of fresh fruit and wine flavors that work together perfectly. The drink stays balanced without any one ingredient taking over.

Room temperature fruit works best for maximum flavor. Cold ingredients can dull the taste of both the fruit and wine.

The drink becomes more mellow after sitting for 1-2 hours, as the fruits release their juices into the wine. This creates a smoother, more integrated flavor.
