Mulled White Wine: a fun twist on the classic cold weather beverage
Inspiration
Mulled White Wine
Mulled wine made with white wine? Yes, it’s a little different… but SOOOO DELICIOUS! And in the scheme of things, not entirely odd. Head over to our article to read more about the history of mulled wine and how different countries drink it. Our favorite update on a classic mulled wine recipe is below. By switching to white wine, we open up a whole new world of possibilities on a classic Winter Warmer. We just recommend not going very sweet with your choice of wine… If you’re looking for a more traditional recipe, here’s our red wine version.
