Try our mulled port recipe then check out our glühwein, mulled gin, mulled wine and more winter cocktails.

Port is stronger than wine so go easy on the servings. This is lovely drunk warm but you can also cut the intensity by chilling and serving with tonic or lemonade over ice.

    peel carved into strips, juiced
  • 750ml ruby port
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 6 bay leaves

  • rosemary sprigs
    to garnish

    • step 1
