I live in Andersonville, so this shouldn't be so hard, for Pete's sake. I've been to both Swedish delis - sold out. Clark Foster Liquors - sold out. Swedish bakery had no clue. The grocery stores don't carry it. Hopleaf stopped selling it. Simon's will sell you a glass, but not a bottle... right? Anyone know another place to buy Glogg by the bottle? I am having the biggest g-ddam craving you can imagine.
THANKS!!

IKEA probably has alcohol free glögg in December, since it is such a seasonal drink in Sweden (Christmas only). But now it's February, and you might have to wait another ten months! In case you won't find any - here's a recipe. It's really easy. It's not important to follow it slavishly. I wouldn't take that much sugar, and I wouldn't bother about the lemon (although it sounds nice - orange would probably be just as good, but none is essential). Vodka is, as the recipe says, optional. I have made glögg with red wine and port, madeira, even brandy - and with no spirits at all. The important thing is cinnamon, ginger and cardamom, maybe cloves too. If you don't use vodka or other spirits, you can boil the spices with a cup of orange juice for a couple of minutes and let it stand for as long as you can wait before you strain the juice and mix it with the wine and sugar. And of course you should drink glögg with raisins and blanched almonds. - If you don't want any alchohol at all, alcohol free red "wine" will do very well.

1 bottle of red table wine
50 ml - 100 ml (1/4 - 1/2 cup) vodka (optional)
5-20 cloves
1 rounded tsp. cardamom seeds
2 to 4 cinnamon sticks
1 or 2 pieces of ginger
Zest of half a lemon
125 to 250 ml (1/2 to 1 cup) sugar
1 rounded tsp. vanilla sugar


Method
Crush the cinnamon and cardamom. Peel the lemon. Put all the spices and peel into a glass jar with the vodka.
Cover. Leave overnight. Strain the vodka, discard the spices.
Mix the spiced vodka with the wine and sugar.
Heat all the ingredients in a large saucepan until steaming hot. Do not boil! Stir and taste.
If not sweet enough, add more sugar. If too sweet, add more wine.

Hello
A friend brought us a bottle last year and I think he bought it at Ikea.
