Mulled Hot Chocolate Wine
As we move into the fall months, the thought of warm drinks become something of excitement. As a child, I loved drinking hot chocolate, as do my children today. As an adult, mulled wine sounds more appealing. I thought it would be fun to combine the two wonderful flavors together and make something that satisfies both the child and adult in us all.

Calories: 194kcal
Ingredients
For the Mulled Wine:
- 1 (750 mL) bottle red wine (I used Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 4 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
For the Hot Chocolate:
- 2 cups (475 mL) milk or dairy-free milk
- ½ cup (60 g) cocoa powder
To Finish:
- ¼ cup (60 mL) Cointreau
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine all the mulled wine ingredients. Heat on medium until it comes to a light boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
- In a different saucepan, combine all the hot chocolate ingredients. Heat on medium-low and stir until the cocoa powder has dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
- When both saucepans are done, pour the hot chocolate into the mulled wine. Continue heating on low for a few minutes as you stir them both together. Turn off the burner and stir in the Cointreau.
