This low-carb mulled wine is the perfect festive drink for winter. With notes of spices like cloves, cinnamon, and star anise, along with oranges you’ll want to sip this concoction all winter long.
To keep this cocktail on the keto side we’re using a little powdered Swerve that sweetens up the dry wine but doesn't add carbs and sugar. Just be sure to watch your serving size as each glass is about 5g of net carbs.
