1 bottles RED WINE (I am using HEROE Cabernet Sauvignon by SCULPTERRA Winery)
6 oz. Greenbar Distillery Orange Liqueur
10 drops Hella Bitters Aromatico
Cinnamon, Clove, Star Anise & All Spice (wrapped up in cheesecloth 1 piece of each)
This is the perfect cocktail to batch in a small infusion jar or large jug for your fridge.  Recipe can be doubled for a special occasion cocktail.  Combine all ingredients in large container and allow it to marinate refrigerated for a minimum of 3 days.  Remove spice pouch before serving.  If serving in a punch bowl you can add dried fruits of loose spices from pouch.
