If you’ve been keeping up with the Season 5 Bachelorette Jillian Harris, you know that she loves a good drink recipe.
And her recipe for Mulled Wine with a Twist is PERFECT for the holiday season!
The Bachelor Nation star posted a recipe for her Glühwein (aka Mulled Wine) with a Twist on her blog and it looks both cozy and delicious.
Jillian also shared the story behind how she came up with the recipe for this drink, writing, “When I was in Austria a couple of years ago, one of our favorite things to do was go to the Christmas Markets and get a hot mug (or a few!!) of Glühwein … AKA Mulled Wine!! So, when I came back home from my trip I definitely had a hankerin’ for some good ‘ol Glühwein, so much so that I decided to whip my own up.”

Instructions:
- Cut your orange and grapefruit in half. Juice one half of both your orange and your grapefruit.
- Insert the cloves into the other un-juiced half of your orange. Set aside.
- Peel your lemon into long twists.
- Add the sugar to the water and bring to a boil on the stove.
- Add the half an orange with the cloves inserted in the peel into the pot. Add the peppercorns (or star anise), cinnamon sticks, orange juice, grapefruit juice, and lemon twists to the pot and allow to boil for a few minutes.
- Reduce the heat and pour in a bottle of wine and 1/2 cup of spiced rum to the pot. Make SURE this doesn’t come to a boil because then your alcohol will burn off!!
- Allow this mixture to gently simmer for a couple of minutes so the flavors have a chance to combine.
- Remove from heat, strain into a clean pot.
- Sugar the rim of your mugs.
- Divide the warm Glühwein with a Twist up between your mugs.
- Serve with a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange and enjoy!
