Begin by washing and preparing your fruits. Thinly slice the lime and orange, and dice the pineapple and mango into small pieces.
In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix the liquids.
Add the sliced lime, orange, diced pineapple, and mango to the pitcher. Gently stir to distribute the fruit evenly.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the mixture and add the fresh mint leaves. Stir gently to infuse the flavors.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, pour the club soda into the pitcher and give it a light stir to add fizz to the sangria.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass gets a good mix of fruit.
Garnish with additional mint leaves or a slice of orange if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your Sangria Criolla Caribbean Sangria!
