It's HOT, y'all! This girl is stuck at home in the South Mississippi 100+ heat looking at vacay photos of everybody else out doing awesome things. So the next best thing was to whip up a little something fun, like this cool, refreshing Pineapple Sangria. This would be a great candidate for a "batch" #cocktail for a #poolparty, summer #bbq or 4th of July celebration for sure! #partyfood Super easy to throw together and store in the fridge until party time. (Scale up as needed and put in a large drink dispenser for party)
Small batch -
1/8 pineapple (I used fresh chunks from the produce department)
1 large spring of basil
1 (6 oz) can pineapple juice
1 cup wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
4 oz rum (I used Malibu coconut rum)
1 can ginger beer (about 1 cup)
juice from 1/2 lemon, freshly squeezed
Throw everything in a pitcher. Either serve immediately for a more fizzy drink or let sit for a couple hours or longer for more fruity flavor but less fizz.
Serve over crushed ice, garnished with pineapple chunks and fresh basil.
* This would be Sooo so so good with grilled chicken kabobs or fish tacos!
