Mulled Plum Punch
Deep red, spiced, and elegant — this Mulled Plum Punch combines plum juice, orange peel, and warm winter spices to create a comforting yet fruity holiday mocktail. The aroma alone feels like Christmas, while the taste balances sweet, tart, and earthy notes beautifully.
Story:
Inspired by traditional European winter markets, this punch captures the nostalgic charm of mulled wine — but without the alcohol. The use of plum, instead of grape, brings a darker sweetness and a velvety depth that pairs beautifully with clove, cinnamon, and citrus. Whether served in a steaming mug by the fireplace or chilled with sparkling water for a festive twist, the Mulled Plum Punch celebrates the magic of the season — cozy, aromatic, and endlessly heartwarming.
