Mulled Gin
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!
