I feel eggnog is syrupy and thick, with a pleasant nutmeg flavor but almost cloyingly sweet, Vanilla. Soy nog is lighter and more pleasant, based on taste alone.
I don't think you are missing much by not having egg nog.

Not the best picture, but it shows how I like mine. Nice and chunky with lots of almond! Not 100% sure how the danes and swedes generally prefer theirs.  |
This sounds absolutely delicious, Tore! In a 3-way competition between egg nog, soy nog, and your Gløgg, I think Gløgg would be best of all!!!! I eat raisins and almonds all the time, and I love spiced cider, so I'd probably like the combination with a bit of alcohol to warm up the tum.
And that name is great. Gløgg!
Say, speaking of Scandinavian holiday traditions, I just went to a St. Lucia fest in Minnesota, which is celebrated there thanks to all those Scandinavians who immigrated. I don't think they brought the Gløgg with them, though. Only lutefisk.
