Equipment

  • Large pitcher
  • Wooden spoon
  • small mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 jalapeno, sliced
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 15 oz can pineapple chunks (drained)
  • 46 ounces pineapple juice
  • 750 mll dry white wine

  • Combine everything except the club soda. In a very large pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, wine, and the contents of the bowl with the 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

If you prefer less heat, you can take out the seeds before slicing the jalapeno. The jalapeno isn't very spicy as is; it just has a slight amount of heat.
The jalapeno slices will rise to the top, so you can take them out before serving to prevent someone from accidentally biting into one!
Use a dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio to balance the sweetness of the pineapple juice. Steer clear of overly sweet wines, as they can make the sangria overly sugary.
If the sangria is overly sweet for your liking, you can add a splash of lemon or lime juice to even it out.
It's best to prepare the sangria a few hours (or even a day) beforehand so the flavors can mix. Just make sure to add the club soda right before serving to keep it fizzy.
Remember to refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, but longer is even better for the flavors to blend together nicely.
