Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Start by assembling all your ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

Step 2: Mix the Base
In a large pitcher or a punch bowl, pour in the white wine and peach schnapps. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
Then, toss in those frozen mango and pineapple chunks along with the pineapple juice. The vibrant colors and tropical scents will make your heart flutter! Stir again until everything is well mixed.
Step 3: Sweeten to Taste
Now, it’s time to taste your creation! If you find the sangria a tad tart, add in your simple syrup, but remember, a little goes a long way!
To make the simple syrup, just heat equal parts of sugar and water until dissolved. Then, let it cool before adding it to the sangria. Toss in a little sweetness and stir to mix well!
