Mulled Spiced Red Wine

Written by on in Cocktail

How do you unwind after walking for two hours while trick or treating with your children in 35 degree weather? Come home and warm up to mulled spiced red wine that you put on before you left! It’s the perfect “warm me up” treat. Also great for bonfires, sitting by the fire pit, or star gazing.

I first learned about mulling from visiting Valley Forge National History Museum. Back as a child, we would go for George Washington’s birthday, and they served delicious mulled apple cider. As a result, I am a fan of mulling many hot beverages. Spiked apple cider is the best, though!
