The TCL Mulled Fizz is a festive medley that brilliantly marries the warmth of traditional holiday spices with a refreshing burst of sparkling wine. Its clever mix of spiced rum and port, infused with nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, provides a rich, earthy base that complements the crispness of the champagne and the citrusy sweetness of orange juice, creating a delightful seasonal treat that encapsulates the spirit of Christmas in each sip.
