A spice liqueur inspired by Glögg, a traditional Swedish winter spiced drink. Geijer Glogg is based on grandma Maria Charlotta’s recipe, who incidentally was born in 1889. The Geijer family have taken their granny’s recipe but used spirit as a base in place of the traditional red wine.

Geijer Glögg 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.

Geijer Glögg is designed to be drunk hot or cold.
