Tasting Notes

Passion Fruit Sangria offers a bright, tropical flavor profile. The drink is sweet and tangy, with a refreshing kick from the sparkling wine.

The passion fruit takes center stage, providing a bold, exotic taste. Its tartness is balanced by the sweetness of other fruits in the mix.

White wine contributes a crisp, light backdrop. It lets the fruit flavors shine without overpowering them.

The addition of sparkling wine gives the sangria a pleasant fizz. This effervescence makes each sip lively and invigorating.

For those who enjoy a boozy punch, the rum adds warmth and depth. It blends seamlessly with the fruit juices, creating a smooth finish.

The drink’s aroma is fruity and inviting. It hints at the tropical experience to come.

Chilled, this sangria is perfect for warm weather. Ice cubes help keep it cool and can add a nice dilution as they melt.

Garnishes like sliced fruits or mint leaves add visual appeal. They also contribute subtle flavors that enhance the overall taste.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

Passion fruit sangria can be made with other fruits if passion fruit is unavailable. Mango provides a similar tropical sweetness. Peaches or nectarines offer a nice alternative flavor. Pineapple chunks add a tangy bite.

For the wine base, try a dry white wine instead of red. Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc work well. You can also create a bubbly version by using sparkling wine like Prosecco.

Swap the brandy with rum for a different twist. White rum keeps it light, while dark rum adds richness. For a non-alcoholic option, use grape juice instead of wine.

Swap out the soda water for lemon-lime soda or ginger ale for extra sweetness. Coconut water gives a tropical touch. Plain seltzer works too.

Mix up the herbs by using mint or basil in place of cilantro. Rosemary sprigs add an aromatic element. Ginger slices provide a spicy kick.
