Ingredients and substitutions
- Fruit - You'll need about half of a medium pineapple, one orange, and two limes. Pineapple can be fresh or frozen. If using frozen, you'll need about 2.5 cups of cubed pineapple.
- White wine - Choose a white wine that you enjoy on its own. I suggest using a slightly sweet white wine like gewurztraminer, riesling, or even a moscato.
- Triple sec - Can be substituted with any orange liqueur, like Grand Marnier, orange Curacao, or Cointreau.
- Club soda - Adds a light, effervescent texture to your sangria.
