Scandinavian Holiday Drink - Christmas Gløgg from Hotel d’Angleterre, Copenhagen

Traditionally, “gløgg” is a warm, spiced, alcoholic wine drink which has been drunk by Scandinavians since the 16th century.  And every afternoon from late November through the end of the year, the Hotel d’Angleterre serves its signature Christmas Gløgg to help revelers celebrate the holiday season and endure the chilly winter days.

This Christmas gløgg is a delicious riff on the traditional Swedish version made with red wine. It is white wine infused with spices, fruit, rum, a touch of brown sugar syrup and Champagne. This holiday drink will pair amazingly with Brunede Kartofler – Browned Potatoes, a staple at a Danish Christmas table.

I enjoy listening to the stories of the people who devote their time to fill our stomachs with scrumptious food. And of course, experiencing and sharing my thoughts on the cuisines that span across the world.
