Author Notes

A twist on the traditional Spanish style wine punch. Perfect for holiday entertaining, this versatile recipe can be served hot as a mulled wine, or over ice as a refreshing aperitif. The key is the festive flavor that comes from first making a quick and easy spiced simple syrup. Using cold pressed blueberry juice as the fruit component puts it over the top!
