Hot alcohol drinks

[Cancer Merchant]

Hot mulled wine has made crappy wine taste good for the last thousand years. Toss in brandy or Cognac for more kick.

One recipe:

2 lemons
2 oranges
1 - 750 ml bottle of medium, to full, bodied red wine Nutmeg (to taste)
Cloves (to taste)
1 oz brandy or Cognac (or to taste)
1 cup (250 ml) granulated sugar (optional)
Herbal or citrus influenced tea (optional but excellent)
Water (optional softener instead of tea)
4 large cinnamon sticks


Instructions for making four large portions
-Cut lemons and oranges into slices.
-Pour the red wine into saucepan and gradually heat.
-Add fruit slices, nutmeg, cloves and brandy.
-Keep an eye on the mixture and wait until it becomes hot to the touch. DO NOT LET IT BOIL.
-At this point you could blend in sugar or water (if desired).
-Pour into glasses/mugs and add tea (to taste).
-Garnish with cinnamon stick

Hot chocolate + Bailey's = good enough for me.

I like to throw in some 100 proof peppermint shnapps for good measure.

Excellent choice. This is my standard warming device when playing golf in the winter. One of these before each side, and a flask of something in case of emergency.
