Notes

  • Make sure to choose a fresh pineapple for the best flavored Sangria.
  • Don’t spend too much on your Moscato. We are fortifying this recipe with all sorts of flavor, so any spendy booze or wine might have it’s spendiness lost in all of the big flavors.
  • Allowing your Sangria to spend some time in the fridge before you serve will help all of the flavors marry for this Moscato Sangria.
