Howl At The Moon Cocktail
With a hint of mulled wine spices, a dash of crisp apple and Moonlight Bliss white wine, Howl At The Moon is a refreshing fall drink that you can adapt in so many ways. Prefer your cocktails ultra-sweet? Use Magnolia instead of Moonlight Bliss and finish the drink with sweet hard cider. To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute Duplin Muscadine Cider for the wine and add bubbles with sparking apple juice rather than hard cider.
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons Duplin Mulling Spice mix
- 2 ounces hot water
- 2 drops bitters such as Angostura bitters or use lemon juice
- 3 ounces Duplin Moonlight Bliss white wine
- Hard cider such as Redd's or Angry Orchard
- Fresh rosemary sprig
- 4 to 6 ice cubes
Directions:
- Make mulling spice syrup: Place Duplin Mulling Spice mix in a small jar. Add the warm water to the Duplin Mulling Spice mix in the jar. Stir vigorously until mulling spice mix is dissolved.

- Drop 4 to 6 ice cubes in the glass, leaving a 2-inch space at the top of the glass.
- Fill glass the rest of the way with hard cider.

- Ganish the cocktail by sticking the rosemary spring down into the side of the glass just far enough so that about 1 inch of the leaves stand above the drink.
