Mulled Wine


Mulled Wine
November, 2005

Serves 6–8 / Like its virgin cousin, spiced apple cider, mulled wine incorporates the key holiday spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves—into a deliciously warm and decadent drink. This recipe provides a basic mulled-wine blend, but if you’re feeling adventurous, add some freshly grated ginger, ginger juice, or extra brandy.

1 bottle (750 ml) red wine, such as Merlot or Pinot Noir
1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange peel
3 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ounce brandy (or more to taste)
1/3 cup honey, plus more to taste

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes; do not boil. Adjust sweetness to taste. Serve warm.
