Glögg
A traditional Scandinavian hot punch for the cold winter months! Glögg combines a selection of warm spices and dried fruit with Vodka, Red Wine and Port, all gently simmered to produce a wonderfully complex and tasty variation on mulled wine. Quantities can be adapted depending on how much you’re making but the below recipe will make a batch of about 1.5 litres.
