Mulled Gin

  • Time preparation 5 minutes
  • cook time 5 minutes
  • Serve Serves 1

A lighter, more refreshing alternative to traditional mulled wine, this cocktail is a real winter warmer. The botanical notes of the gin work really well with the festive spices. This recipe serves one, so multiply the quantities depending on how many people you are serving. Perfect for a chilly evening!

  • 50ml classic dry gin, such as Martin Miller's
  • 100ml cloudy apple juice
  • 2 tbsps honey
  • Equal parts cassia bark, whole cinnamon, cloves and star anise
  • Small pinch of chilli flakes
  • To garnish:
  • Cinnamon sticks
  • Orange zest or orange slices

Heat all the ingredients (apart from the garnishes) gently on the hob until aromatic (about five minutes).

Strain into a glass and serve with the orange zest and cinnamon stick, or with orange wedges if you prefer.
