Nothing says holiday party like mulled wine. Warm, sweetened and spiced red wine served with a festive garnish—fun! If you've never tried mulled wine before, be sure to give it a go this holiday season. Make a batch to share with friends while playing board games, wearing cable knit sweaters around your fire place. Too much? I'm just trying to paint a cozy picture here, guys. Dare to dream.
Pomegranate + Ginger Mulled Wine
1 bottle red wine (I used a cabernet sauvignon, any kind is great though)
1/4 cup honey
juice and seeds from 1 pomegranate
1-2 tablespoons fresh peeled ginger
3-4 cinnamon sticks
In a pot stir together the wine and honey. Add the pomegranate juice and seeds, ginger and cinnamon sticks. Heat over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. This will reduce the amount of alcohol slightly. Strain out the seeds and ginger. Serve hot with a cinnamon stick and a little pomegranate peel for garnish. xo. Emma
Pomegranate sounds a great, if unusual addition to mulled wine, can't wait to try it!

I just tried mulled wine for the first time at a Christmas party yesterday and it was so good. It definitely smelled and tasted like Christmas.
