Warm up with this classic mulled wine recipe! It's so easy to make. Gather a few basic ingredients and you'll be sipping mulled wine in 15 minutes! Recipe yields 1 bottle's worth of mulled wine (about 5 servings); multiply as desired.

Classic Mulled Wine

oranges

affordable Merlot, Zinfandel

brandy

maple syrup

cinnamon

star anise

cloves

To prepare the oranges, if using 2 small, slice one orange into rounds and slice the other in half. If using 1 large orange, slice it in half through the round middle, then slice one of the halves into rounds. Place the rounds into a medium heavy-bottomed pot or small Dutch oven. Squeeze the juice from the remaining oranges into the pot.

Pour the wine into the pot, followed by the brandy. Add 1 tablespoon of the sweetener for now. Add the cinnamon sticks, star anise and cloves.

Warm the mixture over medium heat until steaming (about 5 minutes), and keep an eye on it. When you start seeing the tiniest of bubbles at the surface, reduce the heat to the lowest of low. 

Carefully taste, and add another tablespoon of sweetener if it’s not sweet enough for your liking. If it&#8217;s not spicy enough to suit your preferences, continue cooking over very low heat for 5 to 10 more minutes.

Serve in mugs with your desired garnishes! If you&#8217;re adding cranberries as I did, you can add them to the pot to make it look extra festive.

If you expect to polish off the mulled wine within 20 minutes or so, you can keep it on the stove over extra-low heat (it will become more spicy with time). Otherwise, remove it from the heat, cover, and rewarm over low heat if necessary. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days, covered (pour it through a strainer if you don&#8217;t want it to become any more spicy than it already is).

Thanks for the wonderful recipe! Making this as I prepare for my family's zoom Christmas gathering.

Made this last night to drink by the campfire, we all loved it! And the house smelled like Christmas, can't wait to make it again, I have a feeling I'll be drinking mulled wine all winter long. It feels like such a special treat but is so quick and easy 

Amazing mulled wine....simple and perfect for the holidays

Thanks for this recipe, it made my first time making mulled wine a breeze! I made it in my slow cooker yesterday for the second of advent. Used Merlot and Grand Marnier (didn’t have brandy at home) - it was delicious and the spices were just right. Will make it again soon for sure. 
Happy holidays from Shanghai!

Made this before going on an evening walk to look at Christmas lights and the stars. It was a perfect warm spiced drink to come home to after a cold winter's walk. I did half honey and half date syrup for the sweetener and it turned out really well. Thanks for another great recipe!

This felt like a festive treat - not something I'd want every day, but a good special drink for Christmas. We served it with smitten kitchen's date spice loaf. Definitely very hygge!

No pictures, unfortunately, but the recipe turned out great. The feedback I received was that the mulled wine was DELICIOUS! The tips were invaluable. Thank you!

This was so good that we bought another bottle of wine while out the next day to make it again!

I LOVE this recipe! It is my go-to for hot spiced wine on these cold Kansas nights. I grew up on Swedish Glogg, have tasted plenty of German Gluhwein, and can honestly say that this recipe is tasty. Thank you, Kate (and Cookie!)

Make this this evening for the Australian winter solstice ❄️ So lovely and simple 

I've made a few of your recipes now and they have all been amazing. This mulled wine was so easy and delicious. I love how you add extra tips and tricks at the bottom of each recipe. Your website is my go to now when looking for a recipe. Thank you so much from New Zealand xx

Delicious - but why did mine come out so strong? :(

I had an unpleasant Merlot that I hated the thought of wasting so used it to make your mulled wine. Delicious! So simple to make. My home also smells amazing…thank you!

We had some red wine that was disappointing but mulled to your recipe it was delicious especially home on a cold wet wintry day . We added the brandy as specified and a bit more maple syrup than in the recipe . So thanks for a great brew . We have some left I strained for today so will be interested to see if I need to add more spice .

Made this yesterday and everyone loved it!  Tripled it. Will make again and again!

Watch how to make mulled wine in this short recipe video! Mulled wine is unbelievably easy to make, even on a weeknight, and fills your home with holiday fragrance.

Glogg is a traditional warm Scandinavian cocktail that conjures up cozy images of winter and the festive holiday season. It is a mulled wine concoction steeped in rich flavors from aromatic spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, sweetened with a generous amount of sugar. Blended with red wine, the spices impart a deeply comforting and inviting scent, creating a beverage that is both sweet and spicy, with subtle heat from the ginger and a complex bouquet from the combination of spices. Typically served in a pint glass, Glogg is the quintessential drink for cold evenings and holiday gatherings, offering a heartwarming sip that encapsulates the spirit of winter celebrations.
