Tonight I tried Glögg.
What is Glögg?
It is a traditional Swedish drink, basically mulled wine.
But this is Alkoholfri (Alcohol Free)
I know people might think alcohol free wine is basically grape juice, but it’s more than that. There’s usually extra spices and flavours you can taste.
This was very sweet, fruity and almost flowery? I can taste some spices maybe cardamom? And a little bit citrusy.
So more than grape juice (this no Ribeena)
Sometimes I just want to have a drink and I find these alcohol free drinks scratch the same itch more or less.
I’ll have to try alcoholic Glögg some time to compare. But this is definitely a good experience.

@DarkestKale @BigJackBrass horror on the orient express, Milan chapter? #mulledwine

I made a nice mulled wine, warm and cozy for a rainy afternoon of being romantic with myself.

Then the sun came out.

It’s not the same.

#threeThings #3Things to treat myself:

1. A walk in the sunshine up around the top of the village with views over the Trent valley towards Belvoir ('beever') Castle

2. Putting my feet into my fleecy slippers

3. Mulled wine and a mince pie

🍷 NOTE (don't miss #recipe, toot #1 ⤴!)

Like all things, listen to what your body *really* tells you w/how much it wants/needs ~ & best way to enjoy anything is w/moderation & common sense.

Because..

1️⃣ #MulledWine doesn't 'taste like #alcohol'
2️⃣ DAVIDA #wine (*best* #glögg-wine I've ever tried) = 14% ABV

..its effects 'sneak up'.

Nuts/seeds/fruit in Danish-style help : built-in snack!

Still, *always* drink water with it & don't try to do things like drive (duh).

Happy #Winter ~ & enjoy! 💖

🍷 #MulledWine #recipe x Mai-Mai (🙋🏽‍♀️) ❄

Since a #Danish #holiday party 2009 NYC, I 💖 #glögg. Tasty *&* healing.

My version!
🍷 0.5L #RedWine 'no added sulphites' (best taste/no headache) ~ Fave : DAVIDA, #Spain Garnacha (any tannins gone w/heat, 14% dilutes well)
💧 0.5L water
🌿 ≈6g #spices (e.g cinnamon/nutmeg/clove/allspice/orange peel) ~ Fave : Schwartz blend 2bag
🍯 2Tbsp #honey
🌰 140g almonds/sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds/raisins/cranberry

Simmer 5min
Serve w/spoon & enjoy!

Nice, a sort #mulledWine or #mead effect, for these cold winter nights.

In summer I like to go with a bracing spearmint, myself.

Merry Christmas #mulledwine #festive #whatsupwithmyeye

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
I was getting all merry with my boys and my spouse.

We had all our holiday decorations fully on lock, so mom and dad decided it was vino o'clock.

One of my favorite holiday vices is mulled wine, simmered for hours in Christmas-y spices.

Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and clove,
Heavenly smells enveloped our stove.

So ma in her kerchief & I in my cap, mulled wine from a vintner who's a legend in rap.

Merry #Chrismas everyone! Tonight's #DJ for me will be #Cap himself - in a #snowman version! :apartyblobcat: :ablobcatheartsqueeze: :apartyblobcat:

Tonight's #Christmas dinner is super #Bavarian: #Sauerkraut with #Wiener (sausages). And a cup of #mulledwine (of course, the cup has #Marvel design).

It seems suitable weather and date to make a batch of German Glühwein aka mulled wine. There seem to be as many recipes as there are people making it, so after reviewing a few I'll just wing it and keep tasting as I go along.

Look at me drinking alcohol like a proper grown up #mulledwine

I went to go get a cup of #coffee before my last meeting of the day (working from home), and then realized I still had some leftover #MulledWine :grinchsmile:

Looks like happy hour is starting early today!
