The holiday spirit is here! 😜 What is your favorite Winter drink??

Welcome back you two! Here's a little bit about Feuerzangenbowle: There is no cherry in a Feuerzangenbowle. The base is red wine, orange juice, clove, staranis, slices of orange and lemon (basically Glühwein).heat it all up, on top (on a steel-tongue) is a sugar cone. The cone is drenched in rum (at least 50% alc. because that's the concentration where it is easily flammable without heating it up first).
It's a nice social event to makle it at home. But ther are two downsides to it: 1. A design for bad decisions. It's a high alcohol concentration and both the sugar and the temperature excellerates the intoxication. 2. Be prepared for the worse headache of your life the next morning! Again, that's because of the sugar.
To illustrate what I'm saying, I recommend the 1944 movie "Die Feuerzangenbowle" Plot: a couple of academics meet for Feuerzangenbowle and share stories about the pranks they pulled when they were in school. The main character went to a private school and never experienced any of this so it is decided that he poses as a student and goes back to school. (talking about bad decisions). It's quite a cheesy movie, but amusing nevertheless.

Here in the US different people have different preferences as to which alcohol they like in their Eggnog. That is a main reason stores sell unadulterated Eggnog, and you add your own booze.
Also, most stores can't sell alcohol (special licensing) so can't sell adulterated Eggnog.

[bamachine]

In the US, we get the eggnog cold but mix it with rum and heat it up, usually served in a punch bowl at Christmas parties, Kids can just drink the eggnog right out of the fridge, before any added rum. I have made mead a few times and once poured half a mug of it and half a mug of apple cider, nuke it then mix with a cinnamon stick.

[renatespreitz]

In the USA and Canada you get the eggnog base in the dairy section and add alcohol and spices at home. Every family is proud of their own recipe. Hot or cold chocolate needs to be with milk only. Ikea in Canada sells Glögg (# 9).

Grog is a seafarer's drink and also popular in Scandinavia. Originally it is watered down rum with sugar, hot.My father used to say: Rum must, maybe sugar, water not necessary. Rum muss, Zucker kann, Wasser muss nicht sein. We like it with Elderberryjuice. Elderberry is high in Vitamin C, my family swears by it to ward off colds.

[feist]

The one drink that gives me the fuzziest feeling in winter is simply hot chocolate with whipped cream. Reminds me of childhood:
Coming home from sledding, freezing, getting a bath, cuddled in a bathrobe on the sofa and having a hot chocolate.

[sandrabutler]

A Childhood favorite that has not worn off hot chocolate with 14 large marshmallows. Also hot chocolate with hazel nut flavoring.

[pjschmid]

The Eggnog in the US is sold without alcohol but you are supposed to add rum or brandy to it. I’ve never drunk it straight nor have we ever given it to children. I see it in half gallons, but I’ve never seen a gallon. But we like the super rich kind from a local dairy chain that I don’t think is available outside my area (Oberweis in the Chicago area) and it’s sold in half gallons.

I’m from Göttingen and you were in Göttingen!!! Very cool. I hope you enjoy this Christmas market. Not so big as Hannover but a nice one. Then you have see the Gänseliesel the most kissed girl in the world. 😃

Glühwein you drink at the Christmas market. But Feuerzangenbowle, that one you have to make yourself to get a proper taste. The small cups, they are a really poor substitute. It messes up the measures a little bit. Plus, sharing the Feuerzangenbowle is part of the experience.

[swanpride]

Mead is btw our traditional Christmas after dinner drink, though we drink it cold. Still very tasty that way.

[krisiglehart]

That's what Grog is, is watered down Rum. Since Rum has been made and man have been sailing the seas of the world up till the 1900's, Grog was a big drink on the sailing ships. They watered it down 1) because water back then was bad to drink and the alcohol killed bacteria in the water, and 2) it stretched it out and made it last longer. Also that's where we get the saying " feeling grogy".

Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit und Frölicher Weinachten aus Dänemark!
Glögg is swedish by the way. To get the authentic experience with this drink, you must add almond splits, rasins and a pinch of fresh orange juice to the pot and let it slowly heat up for several hours on the stove before serving it with a bit of added snaps and a long spoon for the “granola” in the bottom of the glass.
And yes mead (Mjød) is a divine beverage! Skål!

[JadedKate]

In Belgium we have advocaat which is basically eggnog without milk, over here they get it in tiny cups along with a cup of coffee.

[tatianas_life]

I love hot Apple Juice with cinnamon 😍

[emlo]

In Sachsen bei uns gibt es auch weißen Glühwein aber keinen heißen Hugo :)

[christianc]

Be careful if you see a red Punsch with alcohol inside. Because in a Punsch you are allowed to add up to 25% of water to make the drink cheaper. So only drink Glühwein, because there must be 100% wine in it (okay plus cinnamon etc.)

[popelpotzblitz]

Man kann Glühwein auch kalt mit Mineralwasser und einem Eiswürfel trinken. Verhältnis 3 zu 2.
