Patio Punch

A flavorful batch of punch will keep the party going, and is easy to prepare beforehand. The sweet strawberry and tangy citrus flavors mingle together for a refreshing cocktail.

Ingredients:
• 1 ½ cups light rum
• ½ cup Navan vanilla cognac
• 3 oz. amaretto
• 1 ¼ cups water
• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 ¼ cups sugar
• Fresh lime juice
• 1 ¼ cups lemon juice
• ½ lb. fresh strawberries, sliced lemon wheels and rosemary sprigs
• 1 bottle chilled prosecco

Directions:
Bring water to a boil, add strawberries and sugar, lower to medium heat and stir occasionally for five minutes. Strain and add a touch of lime juice to make flavors pop. In a punch bowl, combine all ingredients except prosecco. Pour into ice-filled glasses; top off with prosecco. Guests will want more than one glass; you'll have enough for seconds!

Serves six.
