here is one i use which is very yummy:

1 btl (750 mL) red wine
1-1/2 cups rum
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup orange juice
oranges, lemons, limes, strawberries (other fruit if desired)
club soda to taste

1. Cut fruit and soak in rum and sugar mixture in fridge for 2 hours
2. Add wine and soak another hour
3. Add orange juice just before serving
4. Add club soda to individual glasses to taste.

Notes:
-we have used both bacardi white rum and mount gay barbados rum and the barbados rum was noticeably better but the white was fine too
-make this the day of serving, it gets stronger every day it sits (TRUST ME - )
- the strawberries are really good and i usually take them out and use them for/in a dessert later
