Accomplice’s Glögg

This "Viking-tiki"-inspired mulled wine gets added heat from a measure of aquavit.

Vin Beurre

This modified mulled wine calls on white wine, honey, thyme, almonds and ginger—topped with a float of whipped calvados butter.

Pope

Belonging to the ecclesiastic family of wine-based punches, the Burgundy-based Pope cocktail was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Crimson and Clover

This Gin Fizz-inspired cocktail contains an added layer for the winter season—equivalent to a mulled wine snowsuit.

Open Air

For this take on mulled wine, Lustau Vermut and Lustau Grand Reserva Brandy are added to a malbec base.
