Nothing says the holiday like some extra boozy fun with your holiday meals and favorite snacks!
This mulled wine features a sweet and citrus note from the sweetener and fresh fruit. To pull it all together is the whole spices, this way no one is drinking ground cinnamon! You are simmer all the flavors together before you hand out this hug in a cup.
You can use any dry red you like. I have used all types of reds, not just dry. It is just the safest way so you are servings up a sugar bowl from the residual sugar in the sweeter red’s.
I give notes below the recipe for sweetener options, I use grape nectar in this. You can use any sweetener that you like!
I have had this warm, chilled, the day after, and even three days after and it is still amazing any way you have it! The longer it sits, the better it gets…
Cheers!
