Notes
- Choose a full-bodied red wine or red wine blend that has rich spice and berry notes for the best results. Merlot, cabernet, red zinfandel, or red blend are all great options.
- Brandy is an optional addition, I recommend ¼ cup or so per 750ml bottle of wine. You can also try bourbon, cognac, or your favorite liqueur.
- Apple Cider is another great addition and will make this a bit lighter on alcohol and will also stretch the bottle of wine to serve a crowd. (Be sure to use apple cider and not apple cider vinegar). Add between 2-4 cups.
- Do not skip the sweetener, it is needed to balance this recipe. You can substitute brown sugar or a sweetener of your choice.
- Do not let the wine come to a boil or the alcohol will evaporate or the wine will reduce too much.
- Strain out any garnishes and store the wine in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze it once cooled for up to 3 months.
