MULLED WINE, BUT CHILLED
Warming in all but touch, this drink is ideal for cusp season, when the days can feel like autumn in morning and summer by afternoon. Cognac anchors the drink, fresh lime brightens it, and a simple syrup steeped with ginger, cinnamon, clove and cardamom evokes a classic mulled wine. The simple syrup here makes extra and keeps for a month in the refrigerator. Add it to lemonade, drizzle it over oatmeal or substitute it for standard simple syrup in another cocktail to make it automatically cozy.

Steps:
- Place a coupe glass in the freezer to chill for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour. (Alternatively, fill the coupe with ice and water, stir for 30 seconds, pour out the ice and water, dry quickly, and pour in the drink into the now-chilled glass.)
- Prepare the syrup: Gently run the ginger under water to remove any traces of dirt. If the ginger is thin-skinned, leave the skin on. Otherwise, peel. Use the larger holes on a box grater to grate the ginger, and add to a small saucepan. Place over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 1/2 cups water, cinnamon sticks, cloves and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer on medium until the liquid reduces by about half and is very fragrant, about 20 minutes.
- Add the sugar and cardamom, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove pan from the heat, and set aside to cool completely. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. This makes about 1 cup. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (You can use this in place of a standard syrup in another cocktail.)
- Prepare the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the wine, Cognac, vermouth, 1/2 ounce mulled simple syrup and lime juice. Shake and strain into the chilled glass.
Tips:
- Use a good quality red wine. This will make a big difference to the final flavor of your cordial.
- Add a variety of spices to your cordial. This will give it a more complex flavor.
- Simmer the cordial for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Strain the cordial before bottling it. This will remove any sediment.
- Store the cordial in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Mulled wine cordial is a delicious and easy-to-make beverage that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover red wine. So next time you have a bottle of red wine that you don't know what to do with, try making a batch of mulled wine cordial. You won't be disappointed!
