Red wine gets the same warm-spice treatment here -- cloves, cinnamon, lemon peel -- but with a splash of brandy added for extra depth beneath the spice. A European winter tradition that's older than most of the cocktails on this list, and it hasn't needed updating since. Served warm, built for cold nights.
Simmer 3 cups water with, sugar, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and lemon peel in a stainless steel pot for 10 minutes. Add wine heat to a "coffee temperature" (DO NOT BOIL) then add the brandy.
