It is a drink that is quick to prepare, making it ideal for both large and small gatherings. You can easily scale up the recipe to serve glubbel in a large pitcher or container so that guests can refill their glasses themselves. Read on to see the recipe!
Why choose glubbel?
Advent season is largely about traditions, but sometimes it can be fun to surprise guests with something new. Glubbel offers just this – an exciting combination of two popular beverages that together create a unique taste experience. The spicy mulled wine meets the light freshness of sparkling wine, and the result is a drink that feels both festive 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/optional bubble (prosecco, cava or champagne works perfectly, 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 does not work as well for this drink.
- Add the sparkling wine slowly to retain as many bubbles as possible.
- Gently stir with a bar spoon and serve immediately.
Psst! 3 Extra tips for an extra festive touch:
- Is or not is? Even though mulled wine is usually served warm, glubbel can advantageously be served cold, so consider chilling both the mulled wine and the sparkling wine before serving. An ice cube can also be added to keep the drink extra cool.
- Dekoration: 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 bit of orange juice or a splash of cognac for a richer flavor profile.
Non-alcoholic glubbel
Do you want to offer a non-alcoholic alternative? No problem! Replace the sparkling wine with non-alcoholic prosecco or cider. Mulled wine is also available in non-alcoholic varieties, so it's easy to customize the drink for all guests.
