A festive take on the Vieux Carré, with the addition of a Cognac and a touch of port and spice.
We discovered this recipe a few years back when it was part of @MasterofMalt’s excellent #masterofcocktails series. It sounded so good that it convinced the beagle, an averred mulled wine avoider, to purchase a bottle of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth’s Christmas Mulled Cup and add it to pretty much every conceivable recipe throughout December.
This is probably its most successful application though - in the arms of a trusty old favourite – the Vieux Carré.
