This mulled cranberry punch is the perfect alcohol-free alternative to mulled wine, so now you can enjoy the warming spiciness of a hot toddy without the alcohol.
This delicious hot spiced cranberry punch is quick and easy to make. Its an ideal alternative to mulled wine for non drinkers and suitable for all ages.
The red wine used is replaced by cranberry juice drink with the addition of clementine juice.
The juice is then flavoured with festive spices and gently simmered for about 15 minutes which allows the flavours to infuse.
Serve in heat proof glasses

You can use pomegranate or red grape juice in place of the cranberry juice drink if you prefer.

My daughter likes a sip on my mulled wine but if I make this then we can both enjoy it with no unwanted consequences hahaha.

Love this idea. Our mulled apple juice is always popular but love the idea of cranberry too, very festive looking. Thanks for linking up to #CookBlogShare. Michelle x
