3 medium limes (thinly sliced)
Small bunch peppermint (leaves stripped (about 30 peppermint leaves))
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 small fresh pineapple (peeled, cored, and cut into 1 to 2-inch chunks (about 2 cups diced))
750 ml bottle white wine (on the dryer side is best - I like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
1/2 cup white rum
3/4 cup pineapple juice
4 cups lemon lime soda
Additional peppermint leaves and pineapple wedges for garnish

Steps:

Instructions
In a heavy pitcher, muddle together the lime slices, peppermint leaves, and sugar. You can use a muddler made specifically for the purpose or a sturdy wooden spoon.
Add the pineapple, then pour the wine, rum, and pineapple juice over the top.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for 4 - 5 hours.
Remove from refrigerator and add the lemon lime soda. Add ice and a few chunks of the pineapple to your glass and pour sangria over. Garnish with additional mint leaves and pineapple wedge if desired. Serve (with a straw, if you like).
