Mulled Red Wine Instructions

Are you looking for a delicious and warming drink to enjoy during the colder months? Look no further than Mulled Red Wine! This delightful cocktail combines the rich flavors of red wine with aromatic spices and a hint of sweetness. It's the perfect drink to cozy up with on a chilly evening or serve at your next holiday gathering.

To make Mulled Red Wine, start by selecting a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. Pour the wine into a large saucepan and add in your desired spices. Popular choices include cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange peel. You can also add a touch of sweetness with a bit of honey or sugar.

Place the saucepan over low heat and allow the wine to warm gently. Be careful not to let it come to a boil, as this can affect the flavor of the wine. Let the mixture simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once the wine is warmed and infused with the spices, it's time to strain out the solids. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a fresh saucepan or pitcher and slowly pour the mulled red wine through, catching any solids in the strainer. This will ensure a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience.

Serve your Mulled Red Wine warm in heatproof glasses or mugs. You can garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick or a twist of orange peel for an extra touch of presentation. This cocktail pairs well with a variety of winter dishes, from hearty stews to festive desserts.

So next time you're in need of a comforting and flavorful drink, give Mulled Red Wine a try. With its warm spices and rich red wine, it's sure to become a seasonal favorite.


Best served in a Pint Glass.
