Instructions
Prepare the fruits and sugar. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, sliced jalapeno, and pineapple chunks. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Combine everything except the club soda. In a very large pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, wine, and the bowl of sugar and fruits. Let the mixture chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Add the club soda and serve. Just pour the club soda before serving. Stir gently and serve the sangria, garnished with a slice of jalapeno and a chunk of pineapple.
Notes
The jalapeno slices will float to the top, so you can remove them before serving to avoid someone accidentally biting into one!Use any inexpensive white wine for this, but don’t pick one that’s too sweet.
