How to make Jägermeister Mulled Wine, we tried it in Batumi, Georgia!

Updated: Apr 11

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!


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

Did you know that in Georgia national holidays are celebrated based on the Julien Calendar (most of the world uses the Gregorian Calendar). This was proposed by Julius Caesar in 46 BC as a reform of the Roman calendar and it took effect on 1 January 45 BC.


The Julien Calendar is adopted by the Georgian Orthodox Church and so effectively Georgians celebrate Christmas on January 7th and New Years Day on the 14th. However many people simply celebrate on both days!


Recipe for Jägermeister Mulled Wine


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