Top Tip for making Mulled wine slushies
Once you've made these, you'll never want mulled wine the classic way again. It's all about the slush! We've served ours up in short glasses for a modern feel but you can use whatever shape tumblers you have, or even go classic and serve these slushies up in nice big wine glasses. Because these are chilly (for obvious) reasons they work well when you're sitting inside where it's warm and cosy. If you want to make similar drinks for the kids then you could use a mix of cranberry juices and serve them up in the same way so they feel included.
