Glögg, known internationally as mulled wine, is a warm and comforting drink enjoyed throughout the chilly weeks before Christmas in Sweden. It becomes even more delightful when paired with crisp gingerbread cookies, creating a classic Scandinavian winter combination.
At outdoor Christmas markets across Sweden, glögg is one of the most popular attractions. It is traditionally made with red wine, sugar, and aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. Some versions include stronger spirits such as vodka or brandy, while non alcoholic options are also widely available. You can find glögg ready to drink, sold in bottles, or prepared at home using spice mixes or your own recipe.
In Sweden, glögg is almost exclusively associated with the Christmas season. It is often served with raisins and blanched almonds, creating a rich and flavorful holiday tradition that many look forward to every year.
