Holiday Gloog

This is the first time I'm putting an alcoholic beverage on my cooking site, basically I don't make many drinks, I let Lauren do that or the nice guy at the bar. But this is a special drink!!



Gracie and I have had a busy last few days, so a drink is in order for her mommy!



While Danny and I were in Finland we purchased Gloog, a Christmas drink that is basically like a mulled wine. What you get in this bottle is just juice, and you mix it with alcohol. You can get other versions of Gloog off the internet and they also sell it in the foods sections of Ikea. I'm not sure if it tastes the same, but I'll let you know when I try my other bottle I got from there.



You put enough juice in a saucepan, I just filled the glassed we would be using and put it in that way. You then throw in a cinnamon stick and warm the juice up. Don't boil it.



While that is warming up you can add some vodka (I like Svedka Vanilla) into a glass. You can do it to taste. Taste to me is two fingers. You can also use wine with this as well, but vodka is my friend.



Then you ladle it into your glass and enjoy. But now you have to pay attention to the MOST IMPORTANT step... repeat.

Merry Christmas Eve!
