The perfect hot wine recipe involves simmering sweet red wine with cinnamon sticks, cloves, citrus peel, cardamom pods and sugar. The addition of these warming spices makes hot wine, also known as gluhwein, the perfect drink for chilly winter evenings. While Boozn Sam’s Glow Kits allow you to skip the cooking and jump to the end result, if you’re looking for a great hot wine recipe, here’s one to try:
1. Combine all ingredients in a pot over medium-low heat. (If you are pressed for time, crank up the heat to medium but make sure to stir frequently and prevent boiling.)
2. If you are cooking low and slow to maximize your experience, bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and mull for 10 minutes.
3. The ideal temperature is 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
4. Strain and serve.
Add a Shot:
And if you want to give your hot wine recipe a little kick, add a splash of brandy or rum. But, my personal favorite is a shot of butterscotch schnapps. The flavor complements sweet red wine and doesn’t get me hammered and laying on the floor drunk listening to Frank Sinatra in an hour.
Enjoy, and be sure to comment any variations of this hot wine recipe below. We want to hear about your upgrades. Cheers!

Gingerbread Mulling Spice Recipe combines the warm flavors of mulling spice with the spice of gingerbread to create a delightful winter mulling spice treat. This mulling spice infused recipe starts with a gluhwein reduction and uses that in the gingerbread recipe AND also in a picture perfect drizzle over the top!
1. Prepare the Mulling Spice Reduction: In a saucepan, combine red wine and two Boozn Sam’s Glow Orange Mulling Spice infusion kits. Simmer over low heat for 20 – 25 minutes, until reduced by 1/3 to 1/2. Allow the reduction to cool. Toss out the spice bags.
2. Pour yourself a mug of mulling spice wine: You’ve worked hard and earned a reward. Pour yourself a 12 oz mug of gluhwein from the mulling spice reduction you just made. Add one of the candied oranges on a skewer, from the Boozn Sam’s infusion kit.
3. Prepare the Gingerbread: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a gingerbread mold or 9 inch, square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the molasses and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Finally, fold in 1 cup of the cooled mulling spice reduction until evenly incorporated.
4. Bake the Gingerbread: Pour the gingerbread batter into the prepared mold or pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Mulling Spice Mix Glaze: Mix some powdered sugar with a little of the Glühwein reduction to make a glaze. Then drizzle the glaze over the cooled gingerbread.
6. Serve: Slice and serve the gingerbread mulling spice.
Enjoy your gingerbread mulling spice recipe, which combines the warm and spiced flavors of mulled wine!
