A great alternative to mulled wine.

Published 29th Oct 2015

This is a great alternative to mulled wine, you can even make a non-alcoholic version by leaving out the whiskey. It's also perfect to make in batches so you can be ready for a party.

Ingredients:------------

  • 400ml apple juice - 30ml Highland Black 8 Year Old Scotch Whisky (optional) - 8 teaspoons clear set honey - 4-8 teaspoons - lemon and lime juice - 3 cloves - 1 inch fresh ginger - 2 pinches- stonemill ground cinnamon

Method: ------------

  1. Heat all the ingredients except the whisky over a low heat until all the flavours have infused. 2. Add in the whisky

Decoration / to serve---------------------

Serve in a heat proof mug with a slice of green apple and a sprinkle of Stonemill Ground Cinnamon.

Tasting notes-------------

A delicious alternative to mulled wine. The warming mix of apple, honey and cinnamon has the added advantage of being a delicious mocktail by simply omitting the whisky. Great to make in batches ahead of time and heat when needed.
