As the coldest weeks of winter are fast approaching, we took it upon ourselves to share with our fave people a warm twist on your daily glass of red. We encourage you to get your inner mixologist on and add your favorite spices and fruit to this concoction - this one is definitely for the gram! (or for a night crashed on the couch with a pizza, we totally get it).
Let's get mixin'!
MULLED WINE
You will need:
1 bottle of our Expressions Merlot Malbec

3 cinnamon sticks, plus more for garnish
3 star anise
1/4 of The Hunting Lodge Honey or sweetener of choice
Orange juice to taste (we added 300mls)

Step 1: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a simmer not a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently over low heat for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Serve warm in a heatproof glass and garnish with more citrus slices and cinnamon sticks.
