A warm, spiced holiday drink that fills your home with the cozy scent of Christmas – a perfect timeless drink for Christmas parties!

Old Fashioned Wassail Recipe

Every morning my husband listens to his favorite radio talk show as he makes his deliveries for work. They talk about things he usually finds hilarious, so he has to call and tell me all about it.

I don’t know where they find their discussion topics, but they are so random and seem so unlikely, it’s hard to imagine most of it is actually real! He & I always get a good laugh out of it together. Most of the time I am only laughing because he can’t stop and it’s contagious!

You won’t be able to stop drinking this Wassail at your holiday gatherings! It’s so warm and cozy, you’ll want to snuggle right in with your friends and family with this comforting old fashioned drink.
