white tropical island sangria

Because I’m addicted to my handy dandy pineapple gadget. Because I wanted an excuse to serve a drink in a pineapple. Because I’m craving a tropical vacation. Because Latin Twist has been published. Because I’m exited about our upcoming book tour. Because I needed a drink to quench my thirst while munching on this pineapple studded guacamole. Because I couldn’t say no to this Island Sangria. Just because I needed a cocktail. Do I really need to make any excuses?

Sangrias are easy to make and even easier to drink. This refreshing bubbly is loaded with chunks of fresh pineapple and only takes five minutes to make. It is made with DOLE canned pineapple juice, white wine, amaretto liqueur, fresh lemon and orange juice, and topped with lemon-lime soda. It tastes like a refreshing island vacation. The only thing missing is a hammock and sand between my toes.

DOLE canned pineapple juice is made from 100% juice and is not from concentrate. Their BPA free packaging makes this juice a great pantry staple, especially if you love shaking up cocktails as much as I do. Vianney and I made lots of cocktails using DOLE during the testing and photography phase of our cocktail book. I would highly recommend it.

    You mentioned a gadget to make the pineapple cup, but never showed it in action, or mentioned where to buy it. The drink sounds divine, and means a trip to the grocery store. Is the pineapple juice in the frozen food section, or in a can on the shelf with the crushed pineapple?
