Default Glug for the holidays - Yummmmmmy

If you've never tried Glug, especially around the holidays, you are missing something wonderful! The following is a great receipt, and it makes a nice batch. Note: Glug can be saved by refrigerating for several weeks, and warmed up, by the glass whenever you want some. Give this a try!!!

GLUG

1 qt. port wine
1 qt. burgundy
1 c. white sugar
1 c. raisins
6 blanched almonds
1/2 tbsp. whole cloves
4 sticks cinnamon
4 cardamom seeds

Tie cloves, cinnamon, cardamom seeds together. In an 8qt. pot, pour 1 quart of water over the tied spices, sugar and raisins. Let simmer until raisins are plump, add the wine. When mixture bubbles around edges, add 1 cup of brandy. Stir until it begins to smoke. More brandy may be added if you want more of a kick to it, but no more than a 2nd cup. Serve with a couple of almonds and raisins in a warm cup. Serves 16 (6 oz. cups).

You would think it does, but it does not!!! If you boiled the mixture for a hour or so, most of the alcohol would evaporate, but your only heating it up until it starts to steam, right after you put the brandy in. A few servings of Glug will either make your very happy, or get you real S--t faced!

It's hard for me to believe that no one here has had Glug before!

One year I sold Christmas Trees for a Church fundraiser and we were stuck outside in aparking lot in the freezing cold. A friend of mine pulledouta mason jar filled with some concoction with dried fruit and raisins in it. I thought he said it was rum and brandy and something else. No idea how he prepared it so I don't know if it was a version of this drink or not but I am trying this one out!!

I have heard of people using Rum and even Bourbon in place of Brandy, however, I have never had it with anything but Brandy. It's very good!

Glugg is great any time of the year.

I don't recall it having raisans or almonds either. I use to drink it several time a winter.

I'm a bigger fan of the Squidbillies version of "Glugg": Pine Cone liquor.

Yum yum that sounds good. That would be good even without the holiday spirit. Just a cold winter day.
