This non-alcoholic mulled wine is made with pomegranate, cranberry, and spices. An alcohol-free winter favorite.

This non alcoholic mulled wine is one of my favourite recipes.
Last winter I tried mulled wine for the first time. I loved it immediately. It was served steaming hot in a big cosy mug. Instantly, it warmed me up from the inside out.
With the weather starting to get very chilly in Australia I thought it was time to create an alcohol free version.
Yes, it might be a little more involved than throwing things in blender or shaker but trust me: it’s worth it.

This pomegranate mulled ‘wine’ would be amazing for my overseas friends who celebrate a chilly Christmas as opposed to our sweltering ones. I like serving mine in a big mug while sitting around the open fire. The addition of watching the Christmas tree lights twinkle would be divine!
If you are looking for more winter mocktails, try my mulled apple cider.
I used organic juice with no artificial sugar, so there are some natural sugars in this. But it is also packed with vitamin C and rich in antioxidants.
This would make a beautiful Christmas gift, given in a pretty jar with some festive ribbon. I gifted it to a pregnant friend recently and she loved it.
The blackberries are optional in this recipe, but they do add a lovely flavour and make a gorgeous garnish.
I tried lots of different combinations to get the flavours of this non-alcoholic mulled wine just right. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

Winter to me usually smells of warm, spiced mulled wine by a cracking fire with my husband or a glass of rich Shiraz with a hearty, meaty dinner. Being pregnant, I was searching for an alternative that was safe yet still allowed for me to feel like I was indulging in a seasonal ritual.
This mocktail ticked so many boxes. It evokes all the spicy wintry warmth you look for in a mulled wine, it was super easy to make and it tastes delicious. I now whip this out regularly to enjoy whilst cooking dinner and recently took the recipe with me on a family holiday in the bush. A hot mug sitting round the campfire was such a perfect way to end my day.

Hi Katherine,
You paint an absolute sublime picture here – I absolutely love it!
I’m so happy you were able to have your own special drink while pregnant and that it’s become a family favourite.
Thank you for the lovely review.

One word… yum!
This mocktail is perfect for a cold winter’s night. Actually – the best thing is you can drink it any time of the day ❤
The house smelled AMAZING when making too.
I’m not a massive sweet girl, so I diluted the juice a bit more with water and it was still fabulous.
Writing about this, now I feel like one – I might have to make one today!

I made a big batch of this mocktail when I had some people over for dinner.
Everyone loved it. Perfect for a winters night.
I have made it subsequently just for myself when I feel like a warm drink that isn’t tea or coffee and it works out wonderfully every time!
