West Texas Meets Germany: A Holiday Recipe for Glühwein with a Texan Twist
No holiday celebration is complete without a signature drink to toast the season. Glühwein, a traditional German mulled wine, gets a bold update with a hint of West Texas flair.
Ingredients:
1 bottle of dry red wine (a West Texas wine, like one from Llano Estacado Winery, works perfectly)
1 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup of West Texas honey or agave nectar
1/4 cup of Texas bourbon (for an extra kick!)
1 orange, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
3-4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
Optional: A splash of peach schnapps for a fruity twist
Instructions:
In a large pot, combine the red wine, orange juice, honey or agave nectar, and bourbon.
Add the sliced orange and lemon, along with the cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
Heat the mixture on low, letting it simmer gently—do not boil—to allow the flavors to meld for 20-30 minutes.
Taste and adjust sweetness or spices as desired.
Serve warm in mugs, garnished with an orange slice or cinnamon stick.
This Texan spin on Glühwein is the perfect way to add some Lone Star warmth to your holiday gatherings.
