“Oliver, do you know Aperol mulled wine?” my boss Madeleine asks me. “Finally there was mulled wine – and then the version with Aperol. That’s how it was terribly fine.”
And as is often the case on a Monday morning after the editorial meeting in Watson Towers, this was by no means a trivial talk, but rather a topical contribution. That means: Do a story about mulled wine, hot aperol and co., Baroni, because now is the time!
No problem, boss! Please:
«Is called Aperol”, Madeleine, not “considered Aperol”! But yeah, it’s a thing. This fairly newer drink, which apparently first appeared in Vienna’s Christmas markets a few years ago, is expected to go global this winter at the latest.
250 ml (dry) Prosecco
200 ml apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
1 orange, cut into slices
From something new to something historic: the very first gin cocktails came in the form of a hot drink, stub – punch – called, that’s why. The following recipe is the favorite drink of Wilkins Micawber, the character in Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield (1850).
400 ml Madeira
2 teaspoon brown sugar
The zest of a lemon and an orange
1 orange slice
4 large pieces of fresh pineapple
4 teaspoon honey
And now, without further ado, four more hot drinks for the cold days!
750 ml white wine
75 g sugar
8 tablespoons of amaretto
1 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon butter
1 pinch of nutmeg
1 slice of lemon
1 cinnamon stick
Hot water for refilling
1 cinnamon stick
3 cloves
1 star anise
3 pieces of orange peel (approximately equal to the peel of half an orange)
1 vanilla bean
4 tablespoons raw sugar
6cl Grand Marnier
Honey
Lemon, cut into wedges and studded with cloves
