Easy does it with spiked grapes and Roobios tea

I am always looking for great summer recipes for small parties or entertaining. Here is one that is a little different from the norm. It's easy too. (It is from Better Homes and Gardens Aug, 05)

Rum Runners - These are good to put out on the table for adults to nibble on post-dessert. Soak small bunches of red grapes in dark rum for 1 hour. Remove them with a slotted spoon (reserve the rum), place on a tray, and freeze them overnight. Remove the tray about a half an hour before serving. When the grapes have thawed a bit, place them in a bowl of reserved rum along side some flavored (margarita) rimming sugar for dipping (You can always find these at TJ Maxx)

For those of you that like Roobios tea but don't like to drink it hot in the summer, here are a few good recipes. I tried the Roobios Chai Float, it was very good!
