Scandinavian Winter Glogg Celebration at The Nordic Shop, Saturday, November 25th

Posted by Walter Hanson on Nov 17th 2017

START SHOPPING

The leaves have fallen, the first snowflakes have danced past your nose.  That only means one thing . . . It is time to stoke up the fire and put on a Pot of good old Scandinavian Glogg.  Weather you like to do it from scratch or use a mix nothing takes the Chill Off like a good pot of Glogg.  

Glogg is Scandinavia's answer to mulled or spiced wine, but with a notable difference, Aquavit.  Aquavit is quite literally "the water of life".  In Scandinavia we celebrate many Special Occasions with a Toast of Aquavit.  Why not put it in Mulled Wine to add a touch of "Life" to the cold Winter.  

Saturday, November 25th as part of our American Express "Shop Small" festivities we are going to be serving two versions of our favorite Scandinavian Glogg both an Adult Version and Child's Version.  We will also be having a Special Sale on our Glogg Mix, Glogg Sets, Glogg Carafe with Warmer and a special Insulated Winter Decanter to keep your Aquavit at the perfect temperature for toasting.  

If you can't join us for the Event you can at least take advantage of our Glogg SALE online while supplies last.  These are specially purchased items for the event from both Sagaform and Saturnus and supplies are LIMITED.  


Enjoy the JUL Time and lift up a Toast to "Peace and Happiness".

ps:  Here is my never fail recipe using our Saturnus Glogg mix for you to enjoy.  I used to make my Glogg from scratch from my Danish Grandmother's recipe.  However since we have started importing the Saturnus Glogg mix it has replaced me making it from scratch, but there is a secret to making it taste just like Grandma's and here it is.  

Walter's Saturnus Glogg Recipe

In a heat resistant pot combine the bottle of Saturnus Glogg Mix with a 1.5 ltr. bottle of dry red wine. Add raisins and slivered almonds and heat to just below simmering. Do not boil.

Before serving add up to the same amount of Aalborg Taffel Aquavit or Linje Aquavit as Glogg Mix.  If you like a Lighter Bodied Glogg add up to 150 ml of Aquavit, for a Medim Bodied Glogg add up to 250 ml, and for a Stouter Bodied Glogg add up to 500 ml. Stir and serve warm.

To make serving easier and to keep your Glogg warm all evening transfer from the pot to our Sagaform Winter Glogg Carafe and Warming Stand.  You will have warm Glogg to serve easily and it will look great on your table.
