Ji What a Find: Glogg from Simon's Tavern
Egg nog, hot chocolate and a cold glass of milk are a few of Santa's favorite holiday drinks. But there is one drink that all the elves are talking about and it's called Glogg.

CHICAGO -- Eggnog, hot chocolate and a cold glass of milk are a few of Santa's favorite holiday drinks. But there is one drink that all the elves are talking about and it's called Glogg.

In this week's Ji What a Find, Ji goes to Simon's Tavern in Andersonville to take a look at the traditional Swedish holiday drink. Owner, Scott Martin shows Ji how to make the mulled wine and the proper way to eat the cookie that accompanies it. The tavern has been open since 1934 and used to have a working speakeasy in the basement. Simon's Tavern also makes Glogg slushies in the summer months.

Visit Simon's pub at 5210 N. Clark Street.
