Martini
If you’re not a fan of dirty blue cheese martinis, then this one is for you. Gin, vermouth, and a fragrant, sweet red wine syrup made with cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and orange. You could make this with vodka if you like, but the aromatic flavours of gin works really well with the mulled wine spices!
Method
Start by toasting the spices - star anise, cloves, and cinnamon. Turn off the heat, then add sugar, red wine, orange, and vanilla.
Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until glossy and it coats the spoon. Allow to cool
For the martini, add ice to a large glass. Pour over the syrup, gin, and vermouth. Stir to mix.
Strain over a chilled glass, and serve with cranberries on a cocktail stick to garnish.
