Success: Red Mulled Wine

Sunday, January 21, 2018

For this red mulled wine to accompany the white mulled wine, I started with two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon, but as we ran out throughout the night I also added a bottle of Pinot Noir and a bottle of Malbec. I very loosely followed a recipe based off a FoodNetwork/Ina Garten suggestion, but only just barely. I used less apple cider, a Penzey's Mulled Wine Spice Mix, and a shot or two of rum. It really does need to simmer for 15+ minutes, and is best served in a mug of some sort.

Between the red and white mulled wines, we used about 8 bottles of wine, for about 10 people or so. We had about 32 fl oz of the red mulled wine, and 16 fl oz of the white mulled wine leftover. When you get to the 16 fl oz level, it gets pretty tricky to serve.
