How to make Non-alcoholic mulled wine for 50 people?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I love mulled wine as well. It's the perfect cold-weather drink, and the flavor is amazing. Here's a non-alcoholic take on mulled wine. This is a basic recipe, with a variety of juices. You can make a small amount to experiment with the flavor, and adjust the juices as you want. I've also seen it with just one type of juice (grape or cranberry) and then all the spices. It's up to your preference.

Here's the recipe:

2 gallons grape juice
7 1/4 cups water
3 1/4 cups sugar
7 1/4 whole cloves
14 1/3 cinnamon sticks
3 5/8 whole orange zest (to taste)
3 5/8 whole lemon zest (to taste)
3 5/8 crushed nutmeg seed (to taste)
9 cups lemon juice (or lime juice if you prefer)

-heat water and add sugar, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and zest
-boil for about 5 minutes, then let simmer for about 5 minutes
-strain syrup into large pot & add citrus juice; heat until gently bubbling
-add grape juice and keep at low simmer; add a couple orange peels (or lemon or lime)

My experience is plan on 1 gallon per 25 people. So this recipe should just get you by with 50. You can make a little extra if you wish as well. I'd definitely recommend testing the recipe yourself ahead of time to figure out the flavoring, I've come to find that the best way when finding recipes for big events. Good luck! Hope it turns out for you!
