Notes
- Variations for Our Mulled Wine Recipe
- Make Ahead and Reheating Instructions
- Our mulled wine recipe can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Once it is made, cool completely and strain. Store the mulled wine in an airtight bottle in the refrigerator.
- When ready to use, pour wine into a pot and simmer until just heated through.
- Our mulled wine can also be made the same day as serving, and kept in the pot covered for up to 4 hours. When ready to use, uncover, simmer until just heated through.
- Replace the traditional cinnamon stick with Saigon cinnamon sticks for a subtle "red hot" and slightly sweet cinnamon flavor.
- Swap the fresh orange halves for a big splash of apple juice and a few apple slices.
- Use bourbon instead of brandy for a slightly smoky flavor.
- Add some fresh rosemary sprigs to the mixture for a piney, earthy fragrance.
