Welcome back to Booze On The Rocks where we make cocktails for everyone.
My name's David Edwards.
Great to have you here today.
We are going to make Mulled Wine, and this is perfect.
No matter what time of the year does it, especially if it's winter or it's cold
and damp, or even if it's the holidays and you're having friends or family
over, or hell you just like mulled wine.
Now, what is mulled wine?
Simply put it is spiced, heated wine.
That's cooked over a slow period of time to bring out the flavors
of whatever spices you put in.
Now it doesn't get any more difficult than that.
Really.
Most people actually do this on the stove, but you know what?
Maybe you want this to be working while you're out and about, Christmas
shopping, throwing snowball fights, playing a game of hockey, whatever.
Use this, the old stand by the Crock-Pot, it's a great thing that you used to
make stews and chilies and one pot dishes, but you can use it for your
alcoholic cocktails, especially for your parties and your family gatherings.
So, you know what?
Let's get into this.
Now, this is a simple eight ingredient recipe, plus the, uh, the alcohol for it,
so, and you may have many of these ingredients at home.
You may not.
But again, you can use what you have to enjoy.
The rest of this stuff, pick up from a bulk food store or your local
grocery store, or, you know, maybe get some off your friends, especially
if you know they're coming over because Hey, why spend extra money?
If you don't have to.
Now, this recipe comes to me from a friend of mine named Sam.
Every year, we'd go over just before Christmas, we have a Christmas
gathering where all the friends sort of pop in, we have to meet some
cheese, some fantastic mulled wine.
However, we have been able to do that for the last couple of years because of the
present situation, but she did give me this recipe to be able to share with you.
And I think it is one of the best mulled wine recipes I've ever come across.
So without further ado, let's get into.
Now, what we are going to do is we're going to take start with our origins
and every single I'm going to put into this Crock-Pot here will be doubled
because I'm using two bottles of wine.
So if you want to make a smaller version of this, just cut every amount in half.
So we're going to start by cutting up our origin two wheels.
Next we're going to use two teaspoons of whole cloves, 15 grams of candy,
ginger, four star anise's, two teaspoons of peppercorns, whole two
teaspoons of cardamon pods, two cinnamon sticks, one half graded, nutmeg,
two ounces or 60 milliliters, honey.
Oh, yeah.
Look at that.
Fantastic.
Simple and easy.
Now what we're going to do is we're going to add our booze, our
alcohol now mold wine usually has an additive beside just the wine.
In this case, I'm using some Brandy and I'm using Meukow Brandy.
You could use a rum or a spice drum totally up to you, depending on
the tip of flavors you want to get.
But I love having a little bit of Brandy in mind.
And for this, we're going to use a full eight ounces.
Oh, look at that.
You can smell the Brandy.
It's fantastic.
And again, use whatever you want.
Use a cognac.
If you want.
One of the things I will say about mulled wine is you don't need to use
an expensive wine or expensive spirits because everything that you add.
Actually changes the flavor.
So drastically the original flavors are not what you recognize as a wine.
Now I am using some hockey legend, uh, uh, wine now this is a Merlow
this is a Canadian wine, and we're going to use two bottles of this.
Like I said, everything I've done here is doubled specifically
for adding all this one.
This is going to be so good.
Now what we're going to do is we're just going to turn this on to the first notch.
Depending on how long you're going to be out of the house.
You can adjust this accordingly, but you want this to cook and
heat for a good four hours.
Slap your lid on here.
And what we're going to do is we're going to come back and see how it tastes
and how it looks a few moments later.
All right.
So here we are four hours.
Let's just turn this to simmer because we want to keep it nice and kind of
warm while we keep going back to this.
We don't need to keep cooking this anymore.
Let's oh, look at that steam.
Oh, anyways, what we're going to do first, because we want to have a
garnish is we're just going to take our orange and what we'll do is we
will cut a couple of orange slices.
Okay.
And we'll cut those in half.
And the reason we're doing this now in advance is we're going to throw
these directly in here, like so
awesome.
Now what you want to do, take your ladle.
You're just going to stir this around a little bit, just to give it a bit of a
mix and this is going to be fantastic.
You can just tell.
It was reported like, so
cool.
Look at that.
Fantastic.
That deep dark, burgundy color, the fresh hints of citrus just on top and
you get those great earthy spicy smells.
Oh, fantastic.
Hmm.
Oh, that is so good.
So spicy, so deep, so tasty and perfect to have with your friend.
