How to make spiced Akvavit Gløgg ❄ A mulled wine drink recipe for cold winters & Christmas (Jul) ☃

Time to light the candles, heat up the mulled wine, or glögg, and get into the Christmas mood. This delicious mulled wine recipe includes red wine, spices and Akvavit. It's best to serve the mulled wine drink either warm or hot and in a clear glass mug! We enjoy scooping out the almonds, figs and raisins from the glass mug and eating them too. In Denmark, it is popular to have the Christmas (Jul) mulled wine drink (gløgg in Danish) with family Christmas (Jul) gatherings. Also, after we do some Christmas shopping on Strøget, we usually go to D'Angleterre Hotel for the delicious hot Jul mulled wine (gløgg) drink and æbleskive. We hope you and enjoy this mulled wine recipe for your holiday celebrations as we have over the years.
