Made this drink as much as a trial run (up to the end-of-year holidays) as for anything else & have it available for those who might like a warm drink at my 4th of July get together ~ Surprising how many will opt for this over an icy cold drink! I was with mikekey on this one & left out the wine ~ The apple cider & cranberry juice made a very nice flavor combo! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the current Comfort Cafe for my theme Tea Totin' Tipster, but without the tipiness!]

Yummy! I didn't have cranberry juice or burgundy wine, so substituted apple cider and pineapple juice. Yummy!

I made this without the wine. I added apple cider instead. This was VERY tasty, and warmed the cockles, as they say!

This is good. I followed all the ingredients. It smelled a little strong when cooking but it tasted great when done. I only used 1/2 of sugar. More was not needed. Made for Holiday Tag 2007
