Bursting with tropical fruit, fresh mint, and crisp white wine, this sangria is the perfect pitcher cocktail to serve all spring and summer long.  We used Shun Cutlery to prep the fruit for this refreshing sangria, focusing on a few core knife skills such as breaking down a pineapple, chopping apples, dicing mango and hulling strawberries.

Now, let’s chat knife skills! We’ve got some tips for you to help sharpen up your kitchen prowess. First, when you’re working with strawberries, it’s all about the paring knife. We used a Shun paring knife to hull and quarter the berries. Then, when slicing citrus, we used a Shun 6-inch utility knife for clean and even slices. We also used the versatile Shun 6-inch utility knife to pit and dice mango, as well as dice apple. Finally, a Shun premier 8-in. chef’s knife is key for breaking down a pineapple!
