Variety is needed and we have already found it. Instead of sweet slop, we slurp in proper style hot gin.
And best of all: you can prepare it yourself very easypeasy.
Instead of wine, our favorite spirit forms Gin the basis for the delicious hot drink. The rest of the ingredients stay the same!
By the way: The trend drink for this winter is coming without added sugar out. This makes mulled gin not only delicious, but also lower in calories – yeah: more gingerbread, cookies and stollen!
