This delicious mixture of red wine and mulled spices has the ultimate scent of Christmas. It is possible that this drink dates as far back as the 2nd century, where wine was warmed up in Rome. However, it is in the UK where it is most popular, and has been since Victorian times

It is a recipe that is very much dependant on individual tastes, with the amount of spice added down to the bar persons discretion. Added ingredients can include anything from orange slices, lemon slices, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, cloves and sugar.

It is popular around Christmas time thanks to its ability to warm people up on a cold, snowy day.
