Mulled Wine Recipe

Mulled Wine is a hot drink known by various names in many places. In Germany, where it’s been made since the 14th century, it is known as “Glühwein”. The Scandinavian countries also have a version, which they call “Glögg”.

SPICED HOT RED WINE PUNCH

Having originated in the colder countries, Mulled Wine (also called Spiced Wine) eventually spread throughout all of Europe, and later went on to reach America. Even though this is not a traditional Mexican drink, it is a beverage that has been gaining popularity in Mexico over the last decade or so.

Like in Europe, Mulled Wine is commonly consumed during the holidays and winter months in Mexico, just like the more traditional “ponche” (Hot Christmas Punch). Besides being a perfect treat to enjoy with friends on a cold night, this is also a very easy drink to prepare.

Mulled Wine is better to make when you’re just about to enjoy it. You only need to warm the wine, so be careful to not overheat it to the point that it starts evaporating. Since this recipe is a stovetop version, it is easier to keep an eye on the heat level (there are longer versions of this recipe that use a slow cooker).

Now, you may be wondering what the best wine is to prepare mulled wine or spiced wine. I use red Zinfandel or Merlot, and recommend you use an inexpensive wine for this drink.

When making this Spiced Red Wine, just make enough for that day, as it tends to get a little bitter the next day if leftover.

Enjoy!

NOTES:

  • If you want, you can also add a little bit of brandy to this drink before serving.
  • I like to top each cup of Mulled Wine with a wedge of orange.

  1. Place the water, sugar, orange & lemon peels, whole cloves, and a pinch of nutmeg in a saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and allow the sugar to dissolve; this will let the spices’ flavors and aromas to blend together. Once it comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat and gently simmer for 5 minutes. (Please check the ingredients list below)
