Mulled wine belongs to Christmas like gin to tonic. But let’s be honest, at some point it only tastes like sugar water with cinnamon and everything that has come into contact with it sticks better than any hot glue.
Variety is needed and we’ve already found it. Instead of sweet broth, we sip in proper style hot gin.
And best of all: You can easily prepare it yourself.
Instead of wine, our favorite spirit forms Gin is 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 the end. Mulled gin is not only delicious, but also lower in calories – Yeah: more gingerbread, cookies and stollen!
