Rosé Sangria

Use a sparkling rosé, such as one from southern France or Spain, for this refreshing, summery drink. The blush color makes it a pretty offering at bridal showers and other parties. Combine all the ingredients except the wine up to a day in advance; stir in wine just before serving so the sangria doesn't lose its fizz.

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1  large orange
• 1  cup  quartered fresh strawberries (about 10)
• 1  cup  fresh raspberries
• 1/2  cup  Cointreau or Triple Sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
• 1/2  cup  fresh orange juice (about 2 large oranges)
• 1  tablespoon  sugar
• 1  (750-milliliter) bottle sparkling rosé wine, chilled
• 8  cups  ice cubes

Preparation

Cut orange into thin slices; cut each slice into quarters. Combine orange, strawberries, and next 4 ingredients (through sugar) in a large pitcher; stir gently until sugar dissolves. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Stir in wine. Place 1 cup ice into each of 8 tall glasses; pour about 3/4 cup sangria over each serving. Serve immediately.
