glögg expiration...?

[cimorene]

We had a box of glögg bought last Christmas and never opened, but when I was pouring it in the pan to heat, I noticed that it said "Best before May 2008".

I thought it would keep indefinitely - doesn't juice in a sealed juicebox usually keep indefinitely? It still smells like berries, apples and cinnamon.

Will we die if we drink it?

You certainly won't die! I'm sure it's fine--it just might not be as ideally tasty as it might have been, had you had it before June.

Ahahaha, OH. That reason for the date never occurred to me at all! XD

I hope you don't die. This would be a very tragic last post.

Yeah. Embarrassing!

Hmm. I thought so too, but one time I drank a little juicebox of apple juice that was a few months past expiration, and it gave me some pretty bad intestinal upset if you know what I mean.

We seem to be fine, but it really did taste much less delicious than usual!

glogg!!!!! mmmmmmmm, glogg. You can't get proper stuff in the USofA.

It can't be that hard to make oneself, surely. All sorts of places have their own recipes. Wax says anyone can do it with a "bottle of wine and a packet of glögg spice mix", but the ingredients of the mixture can't be a secret either...

I've done it with the spice mix. Not the same. :(
