R and I went to Asheboro last weekend to visit with my parents. We sipped strawberry rosé sangria on the patio while enjoying the beautiful spring evening. Mom shared the recipe with me so that I could pass it along to you. It’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo or Mother’s Day. I’ve always wanted a signature cocktail to serve guests, and this could be it. I’m curious, do you have a signature cocktail?
