Mulled Wine Reduction

Cocktail Assembly

Method

Mulled Wine Reduction Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the red wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, orange zest, and lemon zest.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Reduce

    Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce by about half.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Once reduced, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the spices and zest. Set the mulled wine reduction aside to cool.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing glass, combine 100 ml of the mulled wine reduction, 50 ml of fresh lemon juice, and 10 dashes of aromatic bitters. Stir well to combine.

  2. 6

    Combine with Prosecco

    Pour the mixture into a large serving pitcher. Slowly add the Prosecco to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine without losing carbonation.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Fill glasses with the cocktail mixture and garnish each glass with a lemon slice and fresh cranberries if desired.
