Take Me to the Tropics Sangria Recipe

A good Sangria recipe is one of the most adaptable drinks recipes one can make. It can be made light and refreshing for summer sipping. Or vary the ingredients for a lush, cozy drink during cooler months. Sangrias also make hosting duties fairly easy when entertaining since they can be made ahead of time in pitcher form for batch serve. Better yet, guests will be impressed with your awesome bartending skills. What’s not to love?!

The Take Me to the Tropics Sangria recipe is fruity with light coconut flavor. The color is pale pink so the whole fruits take center stage as edible garnish. This is summery fresh Sangria ideal for outdoor entertaining. The color lends itself to bridal parties and baby showers due to the color.
