Rose Sangria on Labor Day Weekend

// September 6th, 2009 // amatuer chef

The summer is starting to sizzle down and this weekend we are having a barbecue on the roof once again.  Barbecues on the roof have become something that we do at least twice a month now.  I have made sangria several time before, but this week I have made a Sangria with Rose Wine.  This drink refreshing and very fruity.  What makes it partiuclarly delicious is the gauva juice!  I love sangria so I use 2 bottles of wine to make it last longer, but this recipe could be done with one bottle of wine.

Ingredients:

2 bottles of Rose Wine (any pink wine will do)

1 16 oz. can of pineapples in 100% pineapple juice

1 can of guava nectar

1 orange (cut into slices)

1 lime (cut into slices)

Preparation:

Slice lime and oranges and place in a large pitcher with pineapples and juice.  Pour both bottles of wine over the fruit and refrigerate for a few hours or until cold.  When mixture is nice and cold and you are ready to serve add the can of guava nectar and stir it all around.

Enjoy:

Fill your glass with ice, spoon in some fruit and cover with the delicious, tropical, fruity Rose Sangria.
