Mulled White Wine - so good
This mulled wine is the cocktail I ever posted on twimii. It is a mix of white wine, cider, pear vodka, vodka, apples, lime, ginger syrup, ginger root, cinnamon and sugar.
The glass holding the cocktail is rimmed with a mix of sugar, cinnamon and lime juice, which really adds to the flavour and is delicious. And you will find yourself turning the glass to take a sip with the frosting each time.
I don’t have a recipe for mulled red wine on twimii yet. Is it crazy to think a good addition might be some chocolate, maybe chocolate liqueur or maybe some lovely dark chocolate? Probably. Might see.
