# Mulled Wine Recipe | Made In - Made In

Skip the electronic slow cooker this year and try mulled wine in a Dutch Oven for the ultimate winter party treat. Here’s our take on this holiday classic.

No cocktail is more synonymous with cold weather than mulled wine. Generally, this consists of warmed, dry red wine spiked with brandy, with added flavor from citrus fruits and spices like cinnamon, allspice, star anise, or cloves.  With origins in the 2nd century as a way for Roman soldiers to stay warm in harsh wintry conditions, this drink has endured the test of time as a warming, seasonal cocktail, generally served around the holidays.

Here, our Creative Culinary Director Rhoda Boone offers up a [Dutch Oven](https://madeincookware.com/products/dutch-oven/hudson-green) mulled wine recipe that may not be the one Roman soldiers were sipping on, but still keeps you just as warm. Be sure to serve with extra cinnamon sticks for added flavor and aesthetics.
