Are you looking for the perfect welcome or Christmas drink for the next Advent celebration? Then glubbel is the right choice for you. With its spicy and fresh flavor, it is a favorite for many and offers an exciting variation from the classic mulled wine usually served.
Glubbel is not only suitable for Advent but also for mulled wine mingles, Christmas parties, or as a festive aperitif throughout December. It is a drink that is quick to prepare, making it ideal for both large and small groups. You can easily scale up the recipe to serve glubbel in a large pitcher or container so guests can refill their glasses themselves.Read on to see the recipe!
Why choose glubbel?
Advent is largely about traditions, but sometimes it can be fun to surprise guests with something new. Glubbel offers just that – an exciting combination of two popular drinks that together create a unique taste experience. The spicy mulled wine meets the light freshness of sparkling wine, resulting in a drink that feels both Christmassy and refreshing.
Glubbel recipe
The best thing about glubbel is that it only requires two ingredients and minimal effort! Here’s how to make a glass:
- ½ dl mulled wine
- 1 dl sparkling wine/any bubbly (prosecco, cava, or champagne works great, or why not a good non-alcoholic alternative?)
Instructions:
- Start by pouring the mulled wine into a nice glass. Make sure it is well chilled – warm mulled wine doesn’t work as well for this drink.
- Then add the sparkling wine slowly to retain as many bubbles as possible.
- Stir gently with a bar spoon and serve immediately.
Psst! 3 Extra tips for an extra festive touch:
- Ice or no ice? Although mulled wine is usually served warm, glubbel can advantageously be served cold, so consider chilling both the mulled wine and sparkling wine before serving. An ice cube can also be added to keep the drink extra cool.
- Decoration: To give the drink an even more festive feel, you can decorate with fresh lingonberries, a cinnamon stick, or an orange slice on the rim of the glass.
- Flavoring: If you really want to give the drink a twist, you can experiment with adding a little orange juice or a splash of cognac for a richer flavor profile.
Non-alcoholic glubbel
Want to offer a non-alcoholic option? No problem! Replace the sparkling wine with non-alcoholic prosecco or cider. Mulled wine also comes in non-alcoholic versions, so it’s easy to adapt the drink for all guests.
Glubbel with white mulled wine
Of course, you can make glubbel with white mulled wine! Whether you prefer white or red mulled wine, there are plenty of ways to make glubbel.
