GLUEHWEIN (GERMAN HOT WINE PUNCH)

Steps:

• Mix everything together in a large saucepan and heat until hot but NOT boiling.
• Boiling it will ruin the Gluehwein, so be careful to not set your heat to high.
• You can pour this into a crockpot on LOW heat and serve warm.

RED WINE PUNCH

Steps:

• Try this grown-up take on fruit punch: Combine 1 bottle red wine, 6 ounces brandy, 6 ounces raspberry or orange liqueur and the juice of 2 lemons in a large pitcher and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve over ice and garnish with raspberries and orange slices.

HOT MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Stir claret wine into water mixture; heat until hot but not boiling, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve flecked with nutmeg.
