Mulled wine cocktail

Mulled wine cocktail

The perfect party drink, as it can be made well ahead, then brought out of the fridge as guests arrive – or serve it hot for a traditional winter warmer

Method

  1. Put 100g light muscovado sugar in a pan with 1 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves and 150ml water. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Simmer for 2 mins, then pour into a large jug and leave to cool. Add 1 lemon and 2 clementines, both thinly sliced, to the jug along with 150ml Cointreau and a 750ml bottle light red wine, such as a Beaujolais. Stir well, then cover and chill for at least 2 hrs or overnight if you can.
  3. Serve chilled or over ice, with a twist of orange zest and a star anise. If you'd like to serve a traditional warm mulled wine, there's no need to chill - simply warm through without boiling and serve in heatproof glasses.

    Best mulled wine i've tasted and I'm hard to please in this depatment because I have tried some really awful ones in the past.Went down when also with my friend.It has a lovely warm mellow orangey note to it which somehow makes it taste light and extremely drinkable.We tried it warmed through and will definately be using this recipe again in the not too distant future.Would highly recommend it to any one. Did the recipe exactly to the letter and I see no reason to amend Mary's recipe.

    I made this last night after coming back from our Noel Marche where it was freezing, but I didn't have Cointreau in so used Triple Sec instead, they were lovely Going to make very large jug of this for la veille de Noël
