The Showt’s Holiday Mulled Wine

The Showt Holiday Punch

Nothing says the holidays like serving a festive alcoholic beverage to your already slurring seasonal houseguests. Many swear by eggnog around this time of year. We, however, prefer to present a non-dairy drink that keeps us perfectly trim in our barely there swimsuits ensuring everyone will sizzle on the beaches of St. Barth for New Years. We suggest you share something special with your intoxicated companions this holiday season, The Showt’s Holiday Mulled Wine.

Preparing this sweet-smelling beverage is quite simple and can be done to taste. Simply gather citrus elements such as blood oranges and aromatics like whole cloves, star anise and cinnamon sticks and simmer in a dry, not-oaky red wine for twenty minutes. Do not allow the liquid to come to a boil. For a hint of natural, healthy sweetness we suggest adding a touch of agave nectar to the mixture.

Once your Poggenpohl kitchen has filled with sweet fragrance, you’re delicious concoction is ready to serve to whichever of your guests have not yet passed out from holiday excess. Pour the wine into glass handled mugs. Garnish with cut citrus and a cinnamon stick.

Enjoy!
