"This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum. This one is not diluted with carbonated beverages. I have much success with red Burgundy wine and white rum, though spiced rum is nice too."




1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 1/2 cups rum
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine
1 cup orange juiceHave the fruit sliced into round slices and place in a large pitcher. and the wine, rum and orange juice well chilled. Pour the rum and sugar into the pitcher and stir enough to dissolve the sugar and then put pitcher in the refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the taste.
When ready to serve, crush the fruit slightly with a large spoon and add the orange juice and wine and adjust the taste according to the sweetness you desire.
