Collagen Mulled Wine

Collagen Mulled Wine

A Cozy Glow in a Cup

This Collagen Mulled Wine is a light, citrusy take on the winter classic — fruity, slightly sweet, and beautifully warming without being heavy. Infused with Crushed Tonic collagen (Crushed Tonic Watermelon Juice Collagen, Crushed Tonic Organic Lucuma Collagen, or Crushed Tonic Unflavored Marine Collagen), it’s the perfect sip for glowing skin and cozy evenings. Think self-care meets après-ski chic.

Time: 7 minutes
Serves: 1–2
Collagen: ~5–10 g per mug (based on 1 tbsp)

ingredients

• 1 tbsp Crushed Tonic (Crushed Tonic Watermelon Juice Collagen, Crushed Tonic Organic Lucuma Collagen, or Crushed Tonic Unflavored Marine Collagen)

• ½ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice 

• ½ cup red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot) 

• 1 tsp honey

• ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

• 2 cloves (optional, for spice)

• ¼ cup water

directions

1. Combine ingredients.
   In a small saucepan over low heat, mix red wine, lemon juice, honey, and Crushed Tonic. Stir until well combined.

2. Add spice.
   If using, add cinnamon and cloves for a warm, aromatic depth.

3. Simmer gently.
   Let it warm on low heat for 5–7 minutes, but don’t boil — that keeps the collagen active and the flavors delicate.

4. Strain + serve.
   Remove from heat, strain out the spices, and pour into a cozy mug or heatproof glass.

5. Garnish + enjoy.
   Add a lemon slice, cinnamon stick, or star anise for that festive touch.

why you’ll love it

• Collagen with your cabernet: get skin and joint benefits in your happy-hour ritual.

• Light + citrusy: less sugary, more refreshing than traditional mulled wine.

• 5-minute glow-up: quick to make, elegant to serve.

• Versatile: great hot in winter or chilled as a collagen sangria base in summer.

make it yours

• Traditional twist: swap half the lemon juice for orange juice + add star anise or nutmeg.

• Mocktail version: replace wine with tart cherry juice or hibiscus tea.

• Extra glow: add a scoop of Crushed Tonic Pure Marine Collagen for a double dose of beauty peptides.

pro tips

• Don’t boil — heat breaks down the delicate wine aromas and may affect collagen texture.

• For a deeper flavor, steep the spices for 10 minutes off heat before straining.

• Serve in glass mugs to show off the rich ruby color.
