This week went fast as Monday was off with the long weekend. During the weekend, I made an Everclear hot cocktail drink inspired by Glögg (Finnish Christmas hot spiced alcoholic drink). I tried Glögg first time in 2013 when we visited Helsinki by a cruise from Stockholm.
Today, I first made the non-alcoholic version following the food.com recipe except that I added sliced and shelled almonds as it should be in the original recipe (following the quantity suggested in the Norwegian alcoholic recipe). Then I filtered the drink, mix Everclear to the glass, and top it up with sliced and shelled almonds.
I also used vodka, absinthe, and whiskey in place of Everclear for the drink in 3 shot glasses. The vodka version tastes precisely like the Finnish Glögg. A Finnish person may say no. But I cannot differentiate much. Everclear one is a bit too strong. Absinthe has tints of Anise flavor, which should not be strong in Glögg. The whiskey version interestingly tastes sweeter. This drink has heat properties because of all the spices and herbs for the cold winters. I am drinking it on a hot summer day. I am stupid.
2nd step: Filter the hot drink. That gives us basically a non-alcoholic Finnish Glögg (grape juice instead of red wine and other liquor). Recipe found online from https://t.co/IhrraSis4h pic.twitter.com/P5wpUAMPC0

The *Everclear on Fire* drink I made myself tasted good. 10/10. Very satisfied compared to some of my previous failed experiments (such as cooking eggplant with Everclear + chicken with root beer).
