  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

  I made this for a party last year and it was fantastic - everyone wanted more, more, more! I'll be making it this year too, and also bottling some as gifts.

  I made this last weekend and a couple of the guests don't like warm wine, so I served it cold. The only thing I didn't do was serve a star anise in each glass. Lovely flavours, easy to make. It went down a storm, I wish I'd done double.

  Made this for a BBQ pool party on Boxing day in Martinique, it was delicious and made us all feel like we were back home. A great twist on traditional warm mulled wine. Christmas in a jug!!

  Great mulled wine recipe which went down a storm at a drinks party! The Cointreau really adds a lovely kick to it.

  Love this one! At least one person asks for the recipe every time I serve it up.

  Fantastic! I did this for friends on Bonfire Night. I made it the night before and served it as a cold cocktail - it went down really well. I'm going to do it for Christmas for this time serve it warm.

  This is amazing. I actually did it for bonfire night and everyone came back for more so ended up doing it at Xmas too! Is a firm favourite with friends and family.

  I made this in November, but not rated yet, everyone loved it, especially borderline alcoholic father-in-law! Will definitely make it again, someone asked for the recipe. I only had one clementine so I used so other citrus to make up for it; an orange and perhaps a bit of lime if I recall correctly. I didn't use the "...Twist of orange zest and a star anise" for serving. I'll definitely be making this again, but perhaps won't tell father-in-law.

  It tasted amazingly good cold, didn't want to risk spoiling it by heating it! Definitely lives up to its name as a cocktail! So easy too, will be making it again for sure. Perfect for Xmas Eve with ham and roasted chestnuts. Did not use star anise, as none available.

  Made this as a "welcome drink" for a pre-Christmas UK and Scandinavian food party on 22nd December for 20+ guests here in tropical Singapore. Absolutely excellent. I made up 4 bottles worth and there were calls for more. Great Ice Breaker pre-food. Have already had requests to make this again and am going to another party tonight where our hosts will be serving it. Certainly beats a Singapore Sling hands down.
