I thought I would give mulled wine in the crockpot a try for Valentine’s day. My husband and I will go out for a date a few days before, but I really love to do something special on the day of Valentine’s. This also makes for a great Christmas mulled wine!
How to make mulled wine in the slow cooker:
- Wine – I use Menage a Trois Red Blend Wine
- Apple Cider
- Brown Sugar
- Strawberries
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Cloves
- Star Anise – these are optional and can be very expensive
- Orange Zest
How long do I cook mulled wine in the slow cooker?

Can I use a different kind of fruit?
Yes! This recipe is very adaptable! Try one of these ideas instead:

- Pears
- To make Christmas flavored mulled wine: add 1 cup of cranberry juice, 1 sliced orange and 1 cup of fresh cranberries.

Is this a party drink that you serve warm only .
Yes, though the leftovers can be drank cold.
Why does the video show orange zest although it was actually orange peel, being added when it’s not in the recipe??
It was missed in the recipe card, thank you. I added it.
It looks like a party dessert, my friends would love this! I will save this recipe for later!
