Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
The TCL Mulled Fizz is a festive medley that brilliantly marries the warmth of traditional holiday spices with a refreshing burst of sparkling wine. Its clever mix of spiced rum and port, infused with nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, provides a rich, earthy base that complements the crispness of the champagne and the citrusy sweetness of orange juice, creating a delightful seasonal treat that encapsulates the spirit of Christmas in each sip.

Can The TCL Mulled Fizz be made in advance?
Yes, the spiced rum, port, and orange juice mixture can be prepared in advance and stored in a refrigerator. However, it's advisable to add the champagne or prosecco and the vanilla pod right before serving to maintain the fizz and the fresh aroma.
What can be used as a substitute for champagne or prosecco in The TCL Mulled Fizz?
If champagne or prosecco is not available, a good substitute would be any sparkling white wine that's on the dry side to maintain the intended balance of flavors. Alternatively, for a non-alcoholic version, sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine can be used.
How does the alcohol content of The TCL Mulled Fizz compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 19.03%, The TCL Mulled Fizz falls into the moderately strong category of cocktails. It's stronger than light cocktails like a Mimosa (around 10%) but not as strong as a straight spirit or a cocktail like a Martini, which can exceed 30% alcohol by volume.
Is The TCL Mulled Fizz considered a traditional mulled wine?
No, The TCL Mulled Fizz is not considered a traditional mulled wine. While it shares some ingredients commonly found in mulled wine, such as spices and orange juice, the addition of champagne or prosecco, and the serving method in a champagne glass, make it a unique cocktail that's distinct from the classic hot mulled wine.
