Swedish Glogg

This recipe is right on, except I don't add any water, and zest the entire orange. I also found out that most people don't like any almonds in their cup! They do like a few raisins! Merry Christmas!!!!

We made this for a Christmas treat. It was an instant hit with "yumms" "oh wow!" and smiles all around. This will be a treasured part of our family holiday celebration from now on. I grew up on bottled "Glogg" but there is no comparison. This is lighter and sweeter with wonderful balance in the spices. I followed the recipe exactly the first time. After we quickly consumed the first batch, I tried to "wing" it and added too much brandy. The original recipe is just right. Thank you for adding the recipe and helping to start a new holiday tradition in our family!

wonderful! I served this on Christmas day. Yummy. I forgot to make the syrup a day ahead of time and it was still delicious. Just as an FYI it's pronounced "gloog" in swedish.

I make this every year for Christmas and we love it! I make some tweaks to fit my taste (sweet!) like using Moscato white wine and only 1/2 cup brandy but it’s a versatile recipe. Perfect to walk in the cold and look at Christmas lights with!

We had this for a party door opener drink! Just didn't add the raisins and almonds.

I've made this a dozen times now and clearly love it. it has become a mainstay in our home at the holidays. It's an inexpensive, delicious drink to have at holiday cocktail parties and each time I've served it, I have requests for the recipe.

What the heck is muscatel? No matter. After a little research, I substituted Beaujolais for it and it comes out perfectly. Just like being in Scandinavia at Christmas.?

I served this for a Christmas party with my girlfriends, and it was a big hit! It's delicious and warms your entire body as it goes down. The spices are so nummy. This Scandi is going to be serving it every Christmas!
