How to Make Jägermeister Mulled Wine – Our Batumi, Georgia Taste Test

Updated: Jun 18

We tried this excellent mulled wine with Jägermeister during our stroll through the Batumi Christmas Market.


It was so delicious that we felt the need to share the recipe with you all to add to your festive holiday experience!


Two glasses of mulled wine with jägermeister, garnished with cinnamon sticks and citrus, accompanied by spices and dried orange slices on a wooden table.


Check out the recipe below. Then take a peek at our YouTube video from our channel, Jenn and Leon, showing us exploring the market, and our very first taste test!


Are you aware that in Georgia, national holidays are observed according to the Julian Calendar, while most of the world follows the Gregorian Calendar?


Julius Caesar proposed this calendar reform in 46 BC, and it was implemented on January 1, 45 BC.





The Georgian Orthodox Church follows the Julian Calendar, which means Georgians celebrate Christmas on January 7th and New Year's Day on January 14th.


However, many people choose to celebrate on both dates!





Recipe for Jägermeister Mulled Wine


It takes just a few minutes to prepare, and then all you have to do is wait!


⪢ Ingredients


1 bottle of fruity red wine

10 cloves

1 mandarin or clementine

Add other fruit pieces if preferred

1 cinnamon stick

Honey/maple syrup / brown sugar (2-3 tablespoons or as required)

Jägermeister (1½ - 3 ounces, as required)





⪢ Instructions


Press the cloves into the mandarin/clementine

Add all of the ingredients into a pot

Heat until the wine is boiling

Leave to cool/marinate for 2 hours

Use a coffee filter to pour the wine into a pan

Reheat for a couple of minutes

Pour into a bottle or glass, serve, and enjoy!


Let us know in the comments section how you get on if you do try it. We are sure you will enjoy it just as much as we did!

In this episode from our Georgia series, we enjoy some mulled wine with Jägermeister from a local vendor at the Batumi Christmas Market in European Square, 2022.





We follow it up with some fun and silly shenanigans at Mary's Irish Pub & Bar, in our opinion, one of the best bar spots in all of Batumi!
