If the temperature drops, the glass glows. In 2023, fine palates will not refine wine with cloves, cinnamon, etc. The gin is due.
At some point, usually between the sixth and eighth cup of the fifth Christmas market visit with colleagues, even the biggest mulled wine fan looks into the tankard with empty eyes and has finished the sweet Christmas drink. Alternatives are needed. Mulled gin is ideal for gin lovers. Essentially, it only differs from mulled wine in one point: instead of wine, clove, star anise, cinnamon, organs etc. refine gin with a dash of apple juice. You’ll get it.
Bad Hangover Mulled Wine Gin: Gin that helps cats
Bad cat? Rather less. This Mulled Gin has just 17 percent alcohol by volume. Pleasure drinkers should wake up without a pounding head. If the gin is too strong for you, you can also mix it with fruit juice. The manufacturer recommends a mixture in the ratio of two thirds mulled wine and one third juice. Apple juice is a good choice. Nice: According to its own statement, “Böser Kater” supports cat protection with every bottle you buy.
V-Sinne Glüh-Gin & Berry: From the Black Forest
At 15 percent volume it is a little more frugal Mulled gin from V-Sinne. The distillery in the Black Forest has made it its mission to bring its homeland to everyone’s tongues with all their senses. At Christmas time you can do this with the “Glüh-Gin & Berry”, which is primarily characterized by a raspberry note. According to the manufacturer, the Christmas gin can be refined with orange slices, cinnamon, cloves or a splash of apple juice if necessary.
Mulled Gin Trend 2023: Winter Wonderland Gin
Attention: The Winter Wonderland Christmas Gin is not mulled gin in the true sense. With 42 percent volume, it is only partially suitable for unmixed consumption. But it can serve as the basis for a mulled gin. To do this, simply mix the gin with cinnamon, cloves, star anise and apple juice and heat it. Complete.
Ginsanity: Completely crazy, the gin lovers
The mulled gin is the logical consequence of the still ongoing gin trend. This has always been fueled by self-proclaimed gin connoisseurs who also know rum and whiskey and whose man buns try to cover up their thinning hair. They usually cause mischief at “casual” gatherings of middle-aged people who invite people to so-called “tastings” (in German: drinking) in lovingly furnished apartments.
The gin connoisseur usually knows everything about gin and likes to refine his with unpronounceable tonic water that can only be bought on the Internet (or in a very specific supermarket in Thailand). With his eyes wide open, he looks hopefully at the other guests as they sip his spiced gin and tonic creations. Of course he doesn’t skimp on the question of how it tastes and his face is adorned with satisfaction when it actually does that to the uninformed.
Ginsanity that’s what you call it. If all this is too complicated for you, simply grab a bottle of mulled gin from the manufacturer of the same name. But you don’t want to drink it straight. Because of its 40 percent volume, two shots of apple juice should refine it.
Glühgin Gintastic: For lazy gin drinkers
These are even easier to prepare “Essence” of mulled gin. According to the manufacturer, you simply have to mix the gin with water in a 1:1 ratio and heat it, and the mulled gin is ready. In addition to gin and apple juice, the mixture also contains cinnamon and ginger. Bottom up.
