Notes

When preparing and serving Piña Colada Sangria, these tips will help you ensure the best taste and experience:

Chilling Time: Allow the sangria to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. For optimal flavor infusion, refrigerate overnight.
Fruit Infusion: To enhance the tropical flavors, stir the sangria gently after adding the pineapple and mango chunks. This helps distribute the flavors evenly.
Presentation: Serve the sangria over ice to keep it chilled and refreshing. Ensure each glass includes some of the delicious fruit chunks for added flavor and visual appeal.
Garnish: Garnish each serving with fresh pineapple slices. This adds a decorative touch and complements the fruity flavors of the sangria.
Storage: Store any leftover sangria in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to 2 days, allowing the flavors to continue melding together for an even tastier drink.
Refreshing Touch: If you prefer a fizzy sangria, add club soda just before serving. This adds a light effervescence that enhances the overall drinking experience.
