Nantucket Insider welcomes guest blogger Craig Hanna, Cellar Master of TOPPER'S at The Wauwinet as we dream of warm mulled drinks for the holidays... Something that I have not made in years, but certainly ties in to the holidays and Nantucket is a mulled drink. These are generally made similar to hot cider drinks, and were more prevalent many years ago. They are also delicious, simple, and can be made both with or without alcohol. Heat one can cranberry juice on low heat (about 6 oz) Add Orange slices studded with cloves 3 Cinnamon sticks Sprinkle Nutmeg If quite tart add either a few teaspoons maple syrup, or a cup pineapple juice Serve with Rum or Vodka in a mug Garnish with Cinnamon Stick and Orange Slice Craig Hanna, Cellar Master, TOPPER'S at The Wauwinet
