1889 Geijer Glgglikr Liqueur | 700ML

Liqueur: 1889 Geijer Glgglikr | 700ML

A spice liqueur inspired by Glgg, a traditional Swedish winter spiced drink. Geijer Glogg is based on grandma Maria Charlottas recipe, who incidentally was born in 1889. The Geijer family have taken their grannys recipe but used spirit as a base in place of the traditional red wine. Geijer Glgg is flavoured with cardamon, clove, cinnamon, almond, raisons and Seville orange peel. These botanicals are distilled in a copper pot still by St. George Spirits in Alameda, California using techniques similar to gin making. The final product is sweetened with 180 grams of sugar per litre.

Distillery: St. George Spirits

1889 Geijer Glgglikr (pronounced yay-er gluhg) is a Swedish holiday liqueur that shares many similarities to mulled wine, but with an interesting twist. It uses many of the same botanicals as you’d find in a steaming cup of mulled wine, including cardamom, clove and cinnamon. However, instead of the usual red wine, 1889 Geijer Glgglikr is made by distilling and infusing the spices into neutral spirit. The result is a lighter, refined take on the traditional Christmas drink. Enjoy it the traditional way by serving it neat and hot, or sling it in a cocktail or two. 1889 Geijer Glgglikr pairs well with rum, bourbon and gin, the latter of which goes to make the great Glgg Gimlet. The 1889 Geijer Glgglikr comes from the Geijer family recipe and made in California by the talented hands at St. George Spirits, makers of Terroir Gin and Absinthe Verte.
