Cozy Mulled Wine

It's a holiday staple. I use Jameson Irish Whiskey, my favorite. I think the flavor, and certainly the alcohol, loses its kick the more it's kept warm. I will usually add more at the end. I think one of the kids made it with the brandy once, but I was getting so cranky/flustered with all our 20-somethings in the kitchen that I threw more straight Jameson into my mug. I believe they call that 'self-medicating'. Enjoy!

Was very tasty but I put the cloves and ginger in a cheesecloth bag and that seemed to help keep it "neat" looking.

I made this to give away as gifts for the holidays! I sampled it before I bottled it, and it is the perfect blend! I used two bottles of red plus one bottle of white and doubled the ingredients. Seemed to do the trick just fine. My friend had given me a recipe years ago, but gave me pre-packaged mulling spices. This is the first time I’ve made this mulled recipe from scratch. I used 24 cloves and grating the ginger didn’t seem to work well, so I diced it up in little pieces. I used 6 cinnamon sticks. Heated it in the crock pot for two hours. I used a fine mesh strainer to separate the mulling spices before I bottled it all up. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!

I made this wine in the slow cooker for a winter solstice party. Everyone enjoyed it. Several guests asked for the recipe and made it for Christmas. Easy and festive.

Holiday Cheers ....... We really love it! I used clementine(3), Excellent for Christmas Eve......Merry Christmas.

I had no idea that wine could be so fragrant and amazing! I didn't use the cloves, or ginger, and felt that it maybe didn't need the 3rd cinnamon stick, but it was worth trying, and I'm glad I did. I also left the peel on the orange, because I think it looks nicer, and it didn't make it bitter or anything.

Excellent

I used a sweet pinot noir and would prefer a less sweet wine, but even with the sweetness, it was a very good mulled wine with cheese and crackers for a snack supper with my wife.

It was good but not as spicy as I would have liked. It may have been due to sub standard spices so I would suggest using high quality spices.

Loved it! Perfect on a cold winter night. I didn’t have any fresh ginger on hand so I threw in about 1T of crystallized ginger chips. Put slow cooker on high to get it hot quickly. Garnished as pictured. I may make it again tonight!

This was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I followed the recipe exactly using a very nice and smooth Argentinian merlot. The only difference was that I didn't have any brandy, so I used what I had on hand, which was Remy Martin. Not an economical way to go, but it was amazing! I also like the idea of trying it with Jameson's. Anyway, I will make this again. It's wonderful on these very cold nights in front of the fireplace.

Good, but the brandy made it really strong.

Did mine on the stovetop and goosed the brandy up to probably 1/2 c (had a bit left in the bottle so I just dumped it in). Perfection on a chilly December night. I'm making this for Xmas eve!

Nice recipe, but it turned out a bit bitter. Next time I will try it with less ginger.

Good, but next time I'd use fewer cloves and less ginger.

I used 1/3 cup of BlackBerry Brandy and it tasted amazing.

Amazing. The only thing I added was a bottle of white wine.

Opici wine for the base
