It'll be magical!

Gløgg!!

This feature looks a bit weird as it was posted from my ipad.

In Christmas time in Denmark, it is tradition to drink the hot, wine based drink gløgg. Gløgg typically consist of red wine, schnapps, raisin, almonds and typical Christmas spices. Here are some places, where you can buy it in Copenhagen! (But it's also very easy to make it yourself, just google for a recipe). It also comes in a white wine version and even an apple version. Always drink it with a bunch of delicious, hot æbleskiver. Nom nom nom.

Gløgg at a wine bar

Made with quality red wine, port wine, schnapps and brandy, this is a potent gløgg. You might want to leave your bike after having this. It's made by a former Michelin star receiving chef.

65 kroner for a glass with a bowl with raisins and almons, so you can decide how much of it you want in your drink! Comes with delicious homemade Christmas cookies.

At R Vinbar, Gammel Mønt 14, Kbh. K, open tue-thu 16-01, fri-sat 16-02

The artsy gløgg

At Bankeråt, which has been around for 18 years, they serve a gløgg with almonds and raisins pickled in two kinds of schnapps, dark rum and port wine. And the fruit too. Made with red wine. Served from December 1st for 59 kroner for a big glass in the artsy surroundings.

Bankeråt, Ahlefeldtsgade 27-29. Open mon-fri 9.30-24. Weekends 10.30-24.

The classic gløgg

Having been served since 1954, this gløgg is a classic one. Added port wine, cognac and dark rum. Made with red wine and raisins that have been pickled for 8 days with the wine and spices. The only sweetener in this one comes from the pickled raisins. 35 kroner for a huge glass with raisins and an almond in, no cookies,

At Hviids Vinstue, Kongens Nytorv 19 kælderen, 1050 Kbh. K. Open sun-thu 10-01, fri-sat 10-02.

The exclusive gløgg

If you are in Tivoli, pay a visit to the fancy restaurant Nimb in the garden. They have a super fancy gløgg made with 12 ingredients. For 85 kroner, you cget a glass and a huge bunch of cookies.

Do it. Tivoli is decorated for Christmas in December and its very pretty.

At Nimb, Bernstorffsgade 5, Kbh. K.

Juletivolibillede

The relaxed gløgg

Cafe Din Nye Ven is a super nice student cafe that I wanted to do a cafe spotlight with. Table fussball and nice music - and delicious white wine gløgg!!

At Din Nye Ven, Sankt Peders Stræde 34, 1453 København. Open mon-wed: 13-24, thu-sat 13-02.

The Nordic gløgg

The delicious apple gløgg when it's best. Made with Danish apple juice, apple cider vinegar, cane sugar, burnt sugar and a schnapps made with cinnamon, muscat, ginger and other Christmas spices. Nom nom nom. It has fresh apple and dried cranberries in it instead of raisins and almonds. Comes with fresh cookies.

At Meyers Deli, Gl. Kongevej 107, Frederiksberg, open all days 8.30 - 22.
Kongens Nytorv, open mon-thu 10-19, friday 10-20, Saturday kl. 10-18

Enjoy your gløgg!!!!

Events this weekend

Time for it again; Weekend!

Friday

NASA re-opening

This used to be one of the most (in?)famous clubs in Copenhagen with champagne washing extreme. Classic almost-all white interior with an aquarium-wall. The name and the surroundings will be the same, but the concept will be broader, so that the party can be bigger. The DJ will play classic club music, but also RnB and swingbeat. Gone is the champagne washing, but you might still spot a Danish celebrity or three. Cocktails and bottles sold at reasonable prices (not sure if that's to be compared with the level before the reopening? Only one way to find out!). One thing's for sure: Nasa is not just any club!

Tonight they host a re-opening party before the Grand Opening Party next friday. Write them at this email adress to get more information: info@nasa-cph.dk. The party starts at 22:00.

Social Bar opening reception

Another bar is just about to open - but for the first time. The concept is "Cocktails, Service and Art". Go to the opening reception to check it out: Friday and Saturday at 20:00 - true reception style with drinks for you.

http://www.facebook.com/events/246045085525093/

At Teglgårdsgade 13, København.



Saturday

Ice Skating

The ice skating rink outside Frederiksberg Have will open this weekend. It's not particularly big, but it's one of the nicest in Copenhagen, with cute benches and lights in the trees surrounding it. You can rent skates for 45 kroner a pair (only cash, and the closes cash machine is pretty far away, a 10 min walk each way), but you can also bring your own. If you have ice skates already, you can use the rink outside the rental opening hours! 

Opening hours: Mon-Fri: 11-19, Sat: 10-20, Sun: 12-20.


Sunday

Given that a bunch of you will be partying all weekend, I suggest you enjoy your hangover. Because from next weekend, it's all about the exams to come. :))

Best,
Nanna

Beautiful lanterns tomorrow at 18:00


Tomorrow at 18:00 at Blågårds Plads, Global Dignity Denmark is having a happening, where you can decorate your own lantern and get something hot to drink. At 19:30, they will gotogether to Sortedamssøen and let go the lanterns over the lakes of Copenhagen to let them shine over Nørrebro. 

There are plenty of places to grab some fast and relatively cheap food at Blågårds Gade. Go there early and have a coffee or a beer in one of the small, nice places. You should definitely go, because this is not something that's a very typical activity in Copenhagen - or Denmark. It'll be a beautiful sight!

Brænder du efter at sende en lanterne til himmels? Så har du chancen i morgen. Global Dignity Danmark – som arbejder for at fremme værdighed, skabe mere respekt, forståelse og nærhed - har udråbt d. 22. november til Værdighedens Dag. Det markerer de på Blågårds Plads kl 18. Der vil være noget varmt at drikke og man vil kunne dekorere sin egen lanterne med budskaber, løfter, ønsker - og en tegning af Superman, hvis det er det, man er til. Kl 19.30 går vejen så til Sortedamssøen. Her slipper man sin lanterne fri og sætter lys over Nørrebro. La'ternerne flyve!
