Rosé Sangria Punch

Fall is one of my favorite seasons because everything starts to smell like the holidays and festive food and cocktail recipes start popping up everywhere. I recently attended Barefoot wine's "Fall for Rosé" preview, which showcased not only their rosé but also a handful of deliciously crafted Barefoot Rosé cocktails — rosé with vodka, with rum, and with brandy, all spirits that mix so well with the crisp, fruity, bright wine. My tummy does a happy dance when brands come up with tasty, simple recipes that are creative, outside the box, and big on flavor.One of my new favorites for a few reasons is Barefoot's Fall Rosé Sangria Punch. It's a mix of rosé , dark rum, maple syrup, fresh fruits, and juices. The addition of the dark rum to the wine adds a bold richness that takes the depth of flavor to another level.I also like that it's a punch, which means it's time to dust off those gorgeous punch bowls that get tucked away during the year in the bottom cupboard. In a way, a punch bowl is like a crock pot. You throw all the ingredients in and let everything combine for a bit. There's no hassle and it serves a bunch of people.If you are new to rosé, let me point out a few things. Just because it’s pink doesn’t mean it’s a girlie drink. And before anyone asks, the answer is: No, rosè is not a mix of your favorite red and white wines. The process is a bit more complicated, and yes, rosé is wine.I hope you guys enjoy the recipe as much as I do. Cheers!
