Lime Juice Mulled Wine & Italian Cards
Posted by Chris on October 1, 2008
I just saw this and, yeah, really. Lime juice mulled wine.
The folks in the Italian Made Social Motoring Club in Australia (not sure what part) made a lunch stop and were served some mulled wine “consisting of Lime juice, brandy and cloves.”
It’s the lime juice I just don’t get.
I like limes but never once considered adding the them to wine in any form.
Mulled Wine Recipe
Posted by Chris on September 28, 2008
Here’s a tasty-looking mulled wine recipe from Kristen of Bite Me.
Ingredients
2 x 75 cl bottles medium to full-bodied red wine (Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon is ideal)
1 orange stuck with cloves
2 oranges, sliced
2 lemons, sliced
6 level tablespoons granulated sugar or honey
2 inch (5 cm) piece cinnamon stick2 level teaspoons finely grated fresh root ginger or ground ginger
2 tablespoons fruit liqueur such as Cointreau, Grand Marnier or cherry brandy (optional)Method
Put all the ingredients in a saucepan with 2½ pints (1.5 litres) water then heat to simmering point, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. Keep it barely at simmering point for at least 20 minutes – but do not boil or all the alcohol will evaporate.
This can be made in advance, then re-heated just before it is required. Serve it warm in half-pint mugs (in which case there will be 12 servings) or else in 24 sturdy wine glasses.
Serves 12

Easy Gluhwein Recipe
Posted by Chris on September 22, 2008
This is an easy, but small, gluhwein recipe from Gustoso. It only serves two but does not require anything special.
150 ml orange juice
6 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
5 tablespoons white sugar
½ bottle of red wine
- Put all of the ingredients in a saucepan and heat the liquid until nearly boiling.
- Remove it from the heat and let the wine stand for as long as you can (the author suggests 1 to 2 hours to let the flavours develop - we weren’t so patient).
- When you are ready to serve, reheat the wine without boiling and strain into glasses.
