Christmas in July!
Our Mulled Rosso Recipe.

Don't know about you, but cold winters nights take us back to all the European Christmas Markets where you can't go without a hot mug of, Vin brûlé, (Italy) Glühwein (Germany/Austria/Switzerland), Vin chaud (France). Lets transport ourselves there with our Christmas in July Special and try our Range Life Rosso Mulled Wine recipe!

What you will need:
1 x Bottle of Range Life Rosso
1 x Fresh Orange (1 extra for garnish)
2 x whole Cinnamon Sticks (extra for garnish)
10 x whole Cloves
1 x whole Nutmeg
3 x whole Star Anise
6 x whole Black Peppercorns
3 x tbsp Honey or Sugar
1/3 Cup of Water

Other optional additions one can add: Ginger, Lemon, Cardamon Pods, Vanilla Sticks, Bay Leaf.

The first and most important rule? Do not let the wine boil or you will boil off the alcohol! Always heat slowly only ever reaching a light simmer.

Step 1: Peel the orange and then juice. (Avoid white bitter pith on peel)

Step 2: In a medium saucepan, gently heat orange juice, water and honey stirring until dissolved and is at a light simmer.

Step 3: Add Orange Peel, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, Star Anise, Peppercorns. Stir for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4: Add a bottle of Range Life Rosso. Cover and let it gently heat. Leave on low heat for at least 30 minutes for flavours to infuse, up to 2 hours.
(Note: One can season to taste with additional sugar or spices if desired.)

Step 5: Strain and serve in mug. Garnish with orange slice and cinnamon stick.

Traditionally, a shot of extra liquor is added upon serving for that extra layer of warmth! Try it with a slash of Spiced Rum, Amaretto, Triple Sec, Brandy or Cognac.
