Glüh Gin: the birth of a winter classic – everything you want to know about it!

You have asked us again and again for details about our Glüh Gin, and here at last is everything you want to know. Just in time for the start of the cold season, we are happy to share a few interesting facts with you.

The idea

Our Glüh Gin was born in winter 2020 during the long lockdown. The longing to get together at a punch stand with a warming cup of punch was enormous. Sadly, this was not possible. So we turned to the search engine and browsed delicious punch recipes – and the frustration grew when we came across long lists of ingredients, many of which we didn't have at home. The solution to this “punch problem” came in the form of a bottle of Alpengin, which we left to infuse with classic wintry fruits and spices for a few weeks. Our first Glüh Gin prototype was born. A quick hot apple juice in a cup, refined with a good dash of Glüh Gin, and voilà – Glüh Gin, the quick hot drink with our Alpengin, was born.

How is Glüh Gin best enjoyed?

Here is our recommendation: mix 200 ml of hot apple juice with 4 cl of Alpengin Glüh Gin. A slice of apple, orange and a cinnamon stick make a wonderful garnish. Or simply garnish as you like and enjoy.

How long does Glüh Gin keep?

With an alcohol content of a proud 40 %, our Glüh Gin keeps almost indefinitely. But to be honest, it rarely survives even one season. ;)

Can I drink Glüh Gin neat?

Yes and no. In principle Glüh Gin can be enjoyed neat. However, it is more like a concentrate, as it unfolds its full flavour when mixed with hot apple juice.

Does Glüh Gin contain sugar?

No, deliberately sugar-free! The perfect balance comes from mixing it with apple juice, for example, which is sweet enough for most people.

If you now fancy our Glüh Gin, you can order it quickly and easily here (shop in German, delivery within Austria). Your wintry moment of indulgence awaits – experience the taste of Glüh Gin.
