Swedish Christmas Glögg
Also, after we did some Christmas shopping on Strøget, we usually went to DAngleterre Hotel for the delicious mulled wine (gløgg in Danish) and æbleskive. We hope you enjoy our family recipe. Please let us know what you
think!
Below is the traditional Swedish Glogg recipe that we use at our Christmas gatherings. This easy recipe is great because you can make your own version of this great-tasting spiced wine. Variations are optional with the different spices and liqour.
In addition, glogg has many ranges from alcoholic to nonalcoholic. Sometimes we buy the nonalcoholic version. Now a days, it is easy to find the nonalcoholic version at stores such as IKEA. Another option is to replace the wine with cranberry juice. The cranberry juice is great because you can personalized the taste for your children!
1 bottle of red wine (nonalcoholic version use cranberry juice)
0.5 Liter brandy or vodka
10 cardamom pods
1 cinnamon stick (broken down)
1/2 orange peel (dried or fresh)
a couple pieces of crystallized ginger
5 cloves
1/2 a cup of sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped almonds
Preparation: Heat the wine, sugar and spices. Be careful not to boil the mixture; just let it simmer for about 45 minutes.
Then, strain the spices from the spiced wine. Simmer the spiced wine. Add raisins, chopped almonds, brandy or vodka (for the warmth) and any other spices you might like.

This Swedish Christmas glogg recipe makes approx 1.5 Liter (close to 1/2 gallon). We suggest to serve the Swedish glogg into a clear glass or clear mug. Some folks like to have the almonds and raisins in their glogg. So, youll need to scoop the almonds and raisins from the bottom of the mulled wine. (We like to have a lot of raisins and almonds in our glogg! ) If you have any leftover glogg, you can reheat it for another evening!
