•32 oz. cranberry juice cocktail
•12 oz. apple cider
•12 oz. dry red wine
•1/4 cup light brown sugar
•1/4 cup apricot flavored brandy
•1 oz. (generous 1/4 cup)
•+Mulling Spices
Stove Top or Crock Pot Method
•Combine the cranberry juice, apple cider and red wine in a large crock pot or large sauce pan. Add the brown sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Place spices in a muslin bag provided. Close the bag by pulling the strings and tying them in a bow.
•Place the bag of spices into the juice and wine mixture. Cover the crock pot or sauce pan and heat the mixture until hot over a medium setting on your crock pot or medium heat on your stove top. Do not boil.
•Reduce the temperature to low and simmer for 30-60 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the brown sugar has dissolved completely. Taste the mulled wine occasionally. Remove the spice bag when the desired amount of "spice" is reached. Just before serving add the apricot flavored brandy and stir until combined. Ladle the hot wine into mugs and serve with a cinnamon stir stick. Makes seven 8 ounce cups.
*Save the muslin bag for future batches of wine. Discard the spices, rinse the bag and let it hang to dry.
