Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ plus ⅓ Cup red wine I used Bread and Butter Pinot Noir
  • 5 cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 Pod star anise plus extra for garnish
  • 1 Box raspberry gelatin 3-Ounce box
  • ¾ Cup water boiling
  • ¼ Cup orange juice pulp-free, chilled
  • ¼ Cup cinnamon whiskey such as Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, chilled
  • 25 cranberries whole, for garnish
  • 9 Slices orange quartered, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, heat ¾ cup red wine, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise pod for one hour on low. Do not allow wine to simmer. Remove from heat.
  • Strain out cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
  • The wine reduces pretty significantly. You should have about ⅓ cup left of the liquid but it’s fine if you have a bit more or less. Top off the mulled wine with enough fresh wine to make a total of ⅔ cup. Set aside.
  • In a small, heatproof bowl, whisk together boiling water and raspberry gelatin until completely dissolved. Add mulled wine, orange juice, and cinnamon whiskey. Whisk until combined.
  • Pour prepared mulled wine gelatin into 2 ounce shot glasses. Refrigerate for 4 hours, or until set. Top with whole cranberries, orange slices, and a star anise pod, if desired.

Notes

Don’t let the wine boil: Keep it on low to gently infuse without cooking off all the flavor.
Chill the liquids: Make sure your wine and whiskey are chilled so the gelatin sets quickly.
Use clear shot glasses: The layers and color shine through beautifully for a stunning presentation.
