Mulled Wine Bellinis

Mulled Wine Bellinis

Mulled wine originated in the second century, created by the Romans who would heat wine to keep themselves warm during the winter. Giving the classic Bellini a festive makeover, this seasonal cocktail combines the fruity sparkle of Prosecco with the aromatic flavours of mulled wine, adding a touch of Christmas cheer to every sip!
