Mulled Rosé-o-granate 

Mulled wine with whole spices and orange slices. Serving bowl with wooden spoon, sitting next to individual glasses on a wooden table.

The rosé substitutes for a heavier red wine, giving this drink an airier quality, though you may be fooled by the bejeweled look added by the pomegranate juice.  

Ingredients

  • 2 oranges, sliced in ¼” half moons 
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice 
  • 2 bottles dry rosé wine 
  • 2 Tbsp sugar 
  • 12 cloves 
  • 3 whole star anise 
  • 2 cinnamon sticks 
  • 1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, cut into 9 slices 
  • ½ cup triple sec 
  • Cinnamon sticks for garnish, if desired 

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven or crock pot heat the orange slices, pomegranate juice, one cup of the wine, sugar, spices and ginger. Let simmer on low for 15 minutes.
  2. Add remaining wine and triple sec, and heat to 165°F.  
  3. Serve with cinnamon sticks if desired.
