A Warm Winter Treat: German Gluhwein

DON'T SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY on the winter sales in Georgetown — make sure there are funds left over for a warming, intoxicating beverage at Old Europe, just up the hill in Glover Park. Do it like the Germans and snuggle up to a mug of Gluhwein.

With a base of Burgundy wine, seasoned with ginger, cloves, cinnamon, sugar and plenty of citrus — lemon, lime and orange — Gluhwein rivals the warmth of hot chocolate and the tang of, well, Tang, to create a comforting winter drink.

» Old Europe, 2434 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202-333-7600.
