This is a fun play on traditional Sangria- which is also, not as cloyingly sweet as some of the other recipes out there. I use whatever fruit is in Season- peaches & Strawberries go particularly well here. The mint adds a wonderful freshness . This recipe serves 8 people for cocktails.
3 Bottles Rose
1 cup rum
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup pink lemonade
3 peaches – sliced
1 quart strawberries de- stemmed and sliced
2 mangos sliced thinly
Juice of 1 orange
Combine the Rum, Sugar and Fruit in a small mixing bowl, cover and let sit for 30 mins. In a large pitcher Add Rose & Lemonade. Add the fruit and all of the liquid to the Rose & Lemonade mixture. Mix well. Chill for at least a couple of hours. To serve fill glass with Ice and a couple of mint leaves pour rose and enjoy!.
