1pt Midwinter Mulled White Recipe

1pt Midwinter Mulled White
This mulled white wine offers a brighter and lighter alternative to its red counterpart. Sweet white wine mingles with lemon verbena, apple, pink peppercorn, and a hint of ginger, creating a lively warmth that sparkles with every sip. Ideal for gatherings, this mulled wine recipe is perfect to batch and share, bringing a twist of citrus-kissed sunshine to the table. And for a mocktail option, simply swap in apple juice or non-alcoholic wine for a low-octane version that’s every bit as festive.

STEP 1 - Mull Your Wine Combine 750ml of a sweet white wine with one (1) packet of 1pt Mulled White Blend in a saucepan over medium-low heat to warm (do not boil), mulling for 20-30 minutes. While mulling, add sugar or equivalent to taste as you go. Strain the 1pt blend and return mulled wine to saucepan over lowest heat for serving. (Mulled wine may be kept for a prolonged period in the fridge)

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Cocktails shine especially brightly alongside appetizers that bring out their full range of flavors. For this cocktail, try these ideas based on the vibe you’re going for:

• Simple & Satisfying: Smoked salmon on mini crispbread rounds with a touch of mustard-dill sauce, adding a fresh, Nordic bite that pairs beautifully with the citrus notes in the mulled white wine.
• Classic & Comforting: Mini potato rösti topped with sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives, offering a warm, savory bite that complements the spiced undertones of the wine.
• Elevated & Elegant: Small bites of seared white fish on cucumber slices, finished with a light lemon-butter glaze for a refreshing, zesty pairing that mirrors the wine’s bright character.
