Slow Cooker Strawberry Mulled Wine

Easy Slow Cooker Strawberry Mulled Wine is a beautifully spiced and sweet warm red wine.

Warm beverages are perfect for the slow cooker, if you need a non-alcoholic recipe try my cranberry apple cider or pumpkin spice hot chocolate.

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?

• Cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 3-4 hours.
• Turn the slow cooker to warm once the desired temperature is reached.

What kind of wine should I use?

• I suggest you use a red wine you would normally drink.
• Red Blend Wine
• Cabernet Sauvignon

Can I use a different kind of fruit?

Yes! This recipe is very adaptable! Try one of these ideas instead:

• Blackberries or raspberries
• Oranges
• Pears
• To make Christmas flavored mulled wine: add 1 cup of cranberry juice, 1 sliced orange and 1 cup of fresh cranberries.

How long can I keep mulled wine in the crockpot on warm?

• About 4 hours is the longest I keep it on warm, it can tend to get bitter any longer than that.

Other hot drinks to make in the slow cooker:

• Slow Cooker Apple Cider
• Slow Cooker Mint Hot Chocolate
• Slow Cooker Bailey’s Irish Cream Hot Chocolate
• Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Lattes
• Slow Cooker Wassail by Spicy Perspective
