The Art of Drinking with Join Jules and Your Favorite Uncle

Ep. 48: Sangria, Mulled Wine, Romans, spooky rims! - who doesn’t want a Kool-aid mustache year round?

Listen Later

Uncle Brad and Jules talk about Sangria and Mulled wine, which is especially perfect for the holidays but good any time of year (at least Sangria is, mulled wine can be tough when it’s 90 degrees outside). Brad gives us the ancient and not-so-ancient history on Sangria while Jules tells us how to make a bloody rim to spook-ify your drinks.


Sangria (a version, that tastes pretty pretty… pretty good)

In a large pitcher or wine carafe add

  • 1 bottle red wine
  • ½ cup brandy
  • ¼ cup cointreau
  • 1.5 oz of simple syrup
  • ½ apple, cored, thin sliced and cut into quarters
  • ½ lemon thin slice, remove seeds if you can
  • ½ orange thin slice… if you can’t fit it all, you can use orange slice for garnish

    • Stir and refrigerate for at least an hour to let flavors meld

    • Fill a glass with ice and fill ¾ full with Sangria mix, top off with carbonated water, ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, or prosecco.


    Mulled wine

    Serves: 8-10

    • 2 bottles red wine
    • 3 oranges
    • 2 Lemons
    • 8-10 cloves
    • 3-5 cardamom pods
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1 cup brandy or cognac
    • 3-4 cinnamon sticks
    • 1 cup water to dilute
    • Garnish: Fresh cranberries, star anise, and/or rosemary

      • How to make it:

      1. Using a Y-peeler, remove the peel of both the lemons and orange and place in a pot.
      2. Juice the 2 lemons and 3 oranges, strain, and add to the pot.
      3. Add in sugar, water and spices.
      4. Place on medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
      5. Reduce to a simmer and add in wine and brandy.
      6. Stir together and let simmer, but do not boil.
      7. Option to remove from the heat and strain or keep on the stove at a light simmer and serve directly from the pot.

        8. Serve warm!
