Instructions

Escape into a winter wonderland with The Starlit Alpine, a new twist on the traditional German Glühwein that evokes the magic of a clear night sky in the mountains. This drink will warm you with its spiced embrace, while a touch of citrus and star anise adds a modern complexity to the time-honored classic. Ingredients: - 150 ml Red wine (preferably a full-bodied variety like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon) - 20 ml Spiced rum - 15 ml Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier) - 30 ml Freshly squeezed orange juice - 2 tbsp Brown sugar - 2 Cloves - 1 Cinnamon stick - 1 Star anise - Orange peel twist (for garnish) Instructions: 1. Combine red wine, spiced rum, orange liqueur, orange juice, brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick, and star anise in a saucepan. 2. Gently heat the mixture on a low simmer. Do not allow it to boil; you want to warm the ingredients to infuse the spices and meld the flavors together without burning off the alcohol content. 3. Stir occasionally until the brown sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid is steaming, typically after about 5-10 minutes. 4. Remove from heat and let the mixture stand for a minute. 5. Strain the mixture into a heat-resistant glass mug to remove the solid spices and any orange pulp. Glass: Serve in a traditional heat-resistant glass mug, garnished with an orange peel twist that has been lightly expressed (squeezed) over the drink to release its oils, then dropped in as a final aromatic touch. The Starlit Alpine is a contemporary homage to the classic Glühwein that will surely enchant your senses and keep the cold at bay with its refined flavors and inviting warmth.
