How to Make Mulled Zin Holiday Zinfandel Wine Punch

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Halve the oranges and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly softened.
  3. While the oranges roast, combine the Zinfandel, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and allspice berries in a large saucepan.
  4. Gently heat the wine mixture over medium heat. Do not boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the roasted oranges to the punch. Squeeze the juice from the oranges into the punch.
  6. Add the orange zest, if using.
  7. Let the punch steep for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Strain the punch through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and orange peels (optional, for a smoother punch).
  9. Serve warm in mugs or punch bowls. Garnish with orange slices, cranberries, or cinnamon sticks.
