Mulled Apple Cider with Red Wine
If you love hot apple cider, you’ll love this mulled apple cider with red wine even more! It’s made with sweet apple cider, flavorful red wine, crisp apples, and cozy autumn spices.
Hot apple cider is great on its own, but mix in some red wine along with some apple slices and cinnamon sticks, and you’ve got one of the coziest cocktails to ever exist. It’s my trusty recipe for a great addition to any fall or winter evening, plus preparing it makes your house smell INCREDIBLE. You can dress it up to serve in a mason jar or cocktail glass with garnishes, or simply pour some in a mug and enjoy casually. And when I say it makes your house smell fantastic, I mean cozy-up-on-the-couch-and-never-want-to-leave fantastic!
