We Love the Warm Spices!
We grew up snuggling with a warm cup of this wassail recipe. It’s a family favorite that is beyond simple!! Wassail is a traditional Christmas drink to celebrate the Twelfth Night and Christmas Eve. We love it on Christmas Eve and ALL season long! While traditional wassail uses spiced ale or mulled wine drink, our non-alcoholic variation uses apple cider with warm seasonal spices like cinnamon and cloves to add delicious flavor. This easy wassail recipe is delicious but also great for the whole family and we think you’ll agree. For more drinks, perfect for snuggling up around the fire try Apple Cider, Hot Chocolate and Caramel Apple Cider.
