Sounds fancy, but it’s just warm, spiced up wine. You can even do a kiddy version – simply replace wine with ½ orange juice and ½ apple cider. Kids will love it, and it’s fun to have a kids’ bar too.

Vin chaud (Mulled wine)

Ingredients:

2 cinnamon sticks

4 cloves

4 cardamom pods

1 bottle wine

2-3 Tbsp honey

Fruit diced and macerated in the wine – 1 orange, 1 pear, raspberries, or zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon

¼-1/3 cup cognac or rum (optional)

Method:

Tie spices into cheesecloth or into loose tea bag and tie.  

Combine ingredients except cognac.  

Simmer, do not boil.  

Serve warm and top with cognac and serve with macerated fruits.
