26 February, 2021

Our Food & Beverage Team are busy sourcing new items, testing new recipes, and preparing for a late spring reopening. Over the next few months, the team will share some of their favourite recipes to bring a little love from the summit of the Sea to Sky Gondola into your home.

♡ Mmmmm…Hot Spiced Mulled Wine. ♡

Mulled wine is always a popular winter choice at the Sky Pilot Restaurant, the perfect way to warm up after a February adventure outdoors, and it’s guaranteed to make your home smell absolutely amazing!

hot spiced mulled wine

  • 4 cups red wine
  • 1oz apple cider powder, dissolved in 1 cup of hot water
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 teaspoon cloves
  • 2 teaspoon star anise
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Serves 4

  1. Combine Ingredients. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and give them a quick stir.
  2. Simmer. Heat on the stove on medium to high heat and gently simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Strain and Serve. Using a fine-mesh strainer, remove and discard the spices. Serve in your favorite glass mug and garnish with a slice of orange.

The mixture can be kept warm on a low heat for up to 3 hours, or cooled and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can find apple cider powder near the tea/hot drinks in your local grocery store or substitute with an equal amount of apple juice.
