Christmas Mulled Cup release ‘solves mulled wine problems’
Maverick Drinks has created the solution to stale-tasting Christmas mulled wine with the launch of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth’s Christmas Mulled Cup.
Christmas Mulled Cup is tipped as the solution for flavouring mulled wineThe UK-based drinks group – sister company to online retailer Master of Malt – has identified a problem faced by many consumers when it comes to brewing a mulled wine recipe at Christmas time.
“Most good people have left spices languishing in their cupboards for far too long, leaving them dry, old and flavourless,” the group said, adding that the process of stewing spices and citrus is tricky to get right. “They must be left in the wine long enough for all the rich flavours to come through, but removed at just the right moment so that no bitter notes remain.”
Professor Cornelius Ampleforth’s Christmas Mulled Cup has been created to combat the issue. A 26.4% abv blend of spice tinctures – made with a base of VSOP Cognac, citrus distillate – cold-distilled in wheat spirit and ginger distillate, the Christmas Mulled Cup is designed as a seasoning for mulled wine.
Maverick Drinks suggests 50ml is added to one bottle of red wine along with 65g sugar to make the “perfect” mulled wine.
Christmas Mulled Cup is available from Selfirdges and Master of Malt at an RRP of £29.95 for 500ml.
