Mulled Wine

1 part red wine (Cabernet is a good choice) 1 part apple cider 2 oranges ⅓ cup of ginger syrup or honee (agave syrup will do) ¼ cup mulling spices

1. Slice one of the oranges into thin circles. The other orange will be squeezed for juice.

2. Combine all ingredients, including sliced oranges and orange juice, in a crock pot (for the long version) or a large pot (for a quick version).

3. If using a crock pot, set to low and allow 5-8 hours to bring it up in temperature. If using a large pot, heat on the stove set to medium-high until boiling. Reduce temperature to low and keep on the stove to maintain warmth.

Lemon Drop Punch

1 bottle of champagne 4 lemons ½ cup of sugar 1 cup of vodka

1. Peel the lemons in long continuous strips and set the peels aside. Juice the lemons and set the lemon juice aside.

2. In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar in ½ cup of water over medium-high heat. Once dissolved, add the lemon peels and lemon juice. Remove from heat and let cool ~2 hours.

3. In a punch bowl, combine champagne, vodka, and lemon syrup together and serve over ice.
