The post Winning Quotes About Wine and Friends appeared first on Little Party Pixie.

Imagine the coziest winter night in Stockholm: snow falling softly outside, candlelight flickering, and the intoxicating aroma of spiced wine simmering on the stove. That’s glögg—Scandinavia’s answer to mulled wine, and honestly, they might have perfected it.

This isn’t your average spiced wine; glögg (pronounced “glue-gh”) is bolder, spicier, and wonderfully warming, designed for long Nordic nights and even longer conversations with loved ones.

Across Scandinavia, you’ll find slight variations—gløgg in Denmark and Norway, glögi in Finland and Estonia—but the heart remains the same: a communal drink meant for sharing.

This Swedish-inspired recipe captures the traditional magic, though every Scandinavian grandmother probably has her own secret twist. Ready to bring a taste of Nordic winter to your home?

Variations to the Swedish Glögg Recipe

This is but one take on the Swedish recipe! Even amongst the Swedish cooks and food bloggers I studied trying to perfect this recipe at home, I’ve found many variations!

Many suggest replacing the port with bourbon; only port should be used, not red wine. Alternatively, a full measure of brandy can be used in equal parts with the wine & port. Indeed, it might still taste nice, but it is a fairly potent blend. Most types of brandy and bourbon are around 40% ABV. Port is only around 20% ABV.

As the slivered almonds seem to be a common theme, why not also throw in a dash of amaretto? You need to experiment wwith hat works best, it’s a fun game of stovetop guesswork, just make sure there’s some left for your guests to try!

Non-Alcoholic Glögg 

A good non-alcoholic version of glögg is to replace the wine and port with grape juice and apple juice. You will still get all the same wonderful spicy aromas, but without the boozy component.

Another alternative is blackcurrant juice with its deep color and berry flavors. I mane mine in two pots side by side so the adults and kids can enjoy it.

Make Glögg Ahead of Time

Glögg is a fabulous batch party drink and a great make-ahead recipe if you have a busy cooking day ahead. Simmer, steep, and strain, then all you need to do is reheat your glögg when ready to serve. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 weeks after cooking.

How to Serve Your Glögg

This is completely up to you. I can find no evidence that there is one particular traditional way. Some like it served in a brandy balloon glass, while others like the tall handled coffee-cup/hot toddy style glasses.

You can also garnish as you please. Make sure the almonds are blanched/slivered; otherwise, they can leave a bitter finish.

Drinking Glögg Cold

Whilst traditionally seen as a winter drink, glögg can be served like a sangria chilled in the summer over ice.

The post The Traditional Glögg Recipe That’ll Transport You to a Swedish Christmas appeared first on Little Party Pixie.

Whether it’s brunch with friends, a baby shower, or just a Sunday morning that deserves a little sparkle, mimosas never disappoint. But here’s my confession: while I love a classic orange mimosa, I’m a seasonal soul at heart.

Summer calls for peachy bellinis, winter demands cranberry sparkle, and fall? Fall belongs to the apple cider mimosa. This gorgeous twist captures everything we adore about autumn—crisp apple flavor, warm spice notes, and that satisfying sweetness—all wrapped up in bubbly elegance.

Best part? It’s ridiculously easy. Two ingredients, endless wow factor. This is how you can make your own apple cider mimosas at home – as individual glasses or fill a party pitcher!

Tools You Will Need for Making an Apple Cider Mimosa

• Champagne/sparkling wine flutes (stemmed or stemless)
• Knife to chop your apple garnish
• A bamboo skewer may help if you wish to skewer your apples
• A jug if you’ll be making a batch cocktail

Ingredients

• 3/4 Prosecco (or your favorite sparkling wine)
• 1/4 apple cider
• Fresh Apple as a garnish
• (Optional) Fresh thyme and star anise as a garnish

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Start by part-filling each glass (or your serving pitcher) with the cider
2. Make sure you pour slowly so it doesn’t develop a frothy head
3. Tilt each glass and gently top up with the prosecco
4. Add an apple slice as a garnish.
5. If you have them, fresh thyme and star anise also add an extra touch

Notes

As this is an easy cocktail to scale up, I’ve given proportions rather than oz/mls. 

As a guide, the average mimosa glass/champagne flute can hold 6 oz;  you’d use approxiamtely 4.5 oz of sparkling wine and 1.5 oz of apple cider.  

For a pitcher jug to serve 12, for example, you’ll need 54 oz of sparkling wine (approximately two bottles),  and 12 oz of apple cider.

Optional: Garnish the glass rim

An apple cider mimosa is often sweet enough not to require a sugared rim; however, if you want to add an extra touch to your presentation, it is easily done!

To sugar the rim of the glass:

• Take a saucer and sprinkle a generous amount of sugar onto it. With cider, we like brown sugar and cinnamon sugar the best for taste and colour.
• Gently wet the rim of your glass and place it upside down to allow the sugar to stick. You can use your apple cider for this.
• Pour your cocktail as usual.
