How to Make Glog (3 Steps)

Glog, also called "glug" or "glogg," is Scandinavia’s more potent cousin to mulled wine. It’s a steamy ruby-hued brew of red wine, spices, fresh citrus peel, dried fruit, slivered almonds, and a generous pour of a mischievous distilled spirit like brandy. Glog is a liquid blanket for chilly nights and a festive drink for holiday gatherings. While it simmers on your kitchen stove, it fills your home with the scent of oranges and cloves. When ready to sip, it soaks your insides with a pleasing sweet-spiked heat. Think heaven--with a delicious kick--in a cup.

Things You'll Need

Dry red wine
Brandy
Cinnamon stick
Cloves
Cardamom seeds

Orange peel
Dried cherries
Brown sugar
Golden raisins
Slivered almonds

Instructions

Place wine, brandy, spices, orange peel and dried cherries in a pot. Simmer gently until heated through and aromatic, about 15 minutes.
Add brown sugar to taste and continue simmering until it dissolves. Pour the wine through a strainer and into a saucepan. Keep the glog warm on the stove at the lowest setting.
Sprinkle about a teaspoon each of golden raisins and slivered almonds in the bottom of a ceramic or glass mug. Pour the glog over the raisins and almonds to serve.
