I always thought the answer was Slurm.

I must make this! Heck it might even be good enough to get Mrs Sapper in the mood!

erupt into a fit of rage

Glogg is farking awesome.

That is all.

Winter? It was in the 50s in NYC yesterday.

A hot mulled wine recipe which is similar to this has been in my family for generations. It is indeed delicious, but maybe I'll mix it up this year and do glogg instead.

Sounds complicated. 90 proof peppermint schnapps gets the job done without being a pain in the ass.

It's 50 degrees in downstate New York today...

Glögg. Pronounced "Glewg"

Good shiat, though. I buy a bottle of the nonalcoholic premade stuff and add a shot of vodak to it. Perfect drink for Christmas. Actually, I think I'll stop by BevMo today and see if they have any.

McManus_brothers: Or you could be like me and live in Florida, where it's in the 80s. Sheeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiit.

I'm Michigan and it's supposed to be in the mid 50's for Christmas so what's this icy grip the op talks about?

Had this once, and it knocked me on my ass. Awesome.

FYI: It's going to be sunny and 74F in SoCal on Christmas Day. At least the Santa Ana winds are good for something.

Burbon works too

discgolfguru: I heard that story yesterday on the drive home, and bought some cheap booze to try it. Sounded tasty.

Me too. Let us know how it goes. Thinking about making some today if I can pry myself away from the Xbox and the internets

I guess it's got to be better than sampo .

I was in Maui this time last year. 85F, the water was like 80F. I was singing Mele Kalikimaka through my snorkel.

Aquavit with glug! GOOOD idea!

Gotta go warn the wife now that I may be hurting in the morning...

I got the flu at a glögg party when I was in high school. I spent the next 24 hours on my knees saying glööööööööögg to the porcelain Norse gods.


Hope this was a cool story.

natas6.0: Ah, the water of life mulled with stuff that doesn't belong.
We have a case of gluvine waiting to bring xmas cheer

Step 1: Soak raisins in vodka

Step 2: Eat the fark outta some raisins

I like winter, I like seasons. I choose to live in Michigan. Am I insane? My dog doesn't think so, epitaph humanity encroaches, 42.

WTFDYW: I stopped reading the instructions at the word 'raisons'.

I stopped reading your post when you misspelled "raisins".

/to be fair, that was the end of the post, so I was going to stop reading it at that point, anyway
//maybe you're snarking on an NPR typo that they already fixed -- I did do a find-in-page for "raisons" and it didn't show up

Most of the glogg I've had has been heavier on the vodka. 1/2 bottle wine, 1/2 bottle vodka. You will be feeling "festive" after a few mugs!

Mulled wine wih extras. Sounds awesome.

Which season do you like best in Michigan? Flu or mosquito?

Glühwein? (It's similar to glögg)

I visited Rostocker Weihnachtsmarkt (The christmas market in Rostock) a couple of years ago. There they had stands that sold glühwein, glögg and schwedentrunk. Good times.

Great stuff. But it sneaks up on you kind of like saki - "I could drink a lot of this" ..... bombed

it's glöggi. and it's awesome.

I live in a northern climate. North Dakota is about as nothern and cold as you can imagine. But last week it was 55. suck it.

As a kid my dad always brought a wineskin of this when we went out skiing. A couple of sips did a great job of warming you up! I still make it every couple of years. I think that this will now be one of those years.

Two tips:

1. Don't use any fancy wines or liquors in this. The cheap stuff will do fine.

2. Only use aquavit if you must -- this is what led to the Berserker tradition.

Yeah, it seems like a lot of work to go through to get drunk. But that is not the whole purpose of it. It is like Christmas cookies...if you just want cookies, go buy a box of Archway. But making home made cookies, a nice butter cream frosting, and decorating them yourself makes the whole experience more rewarding. Plus it makes the house smell really good. Same with glogg, except cookies don't make you stupidly drunk. Make glogg the week before Christmas one time, and I guarantee you that it will not really seem like Christmas ever again until you smell it on the stove.

/There is a reason why the sound effect for aggressive drinking is "glug-glug-glug".

Yeah, winter. Pfft, who needs such a crappy season. Look how unhappy I am!











Someone kill me. I can't take it anymore!

/throw another log in the woodstove and grab me another beer!

You poor miserable bastard.

I discovered this at World Market last year. I'm bringing down a bottle of it and a gallon jug of burgundy for Christmas with the family. Good times!

oldebayer: Two tips:

2. Only use aquavit if you must -- this is what led to the Berserker tradition.

Agreed with #1.
#2 is heresy however. Aquavit's caraway flavor is essential to the entire thing, and is the whole reason behind soaking the raisins ahead of time. You must use aquavit. Use vodka or brandy and it isn't glogg anymore than Kraft slices is cheese.
