    You will love this simple Wassail Recipe, a traditional Holiday drink. Keep warm in a slow cooker for a party or family gathering.

    Looking for another fun holiday drink idea, this Beach Boy punch is perfect non alcoholic drink or kids and for adults to spike if they’d like.

    Growing up I always remember singing along to this Holiday song, but have to say I never really knew what Wassail was? You  know the song I’m sure:

    “Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green;
    Here we come a-wandering, so fair to be seen.
    Love and joy come to you, and to you our wassail, too.
    And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year”

    Per Webster’s dictionary, the definition is “a hot alcoholic drink that is traditionally served in a large bowl especially at Christmastime”. What? I know! I was introduced to it at Thanksgiving and it is so delicious!

    Perfect for your holiday get together. Keep it warming in a slow cooker and your guests will love it.

    This recipe comes from a family member’s church cookbook. I modified it just a tad.

    Crockpot Wassail Ingredients

    makes 16 – ½ cup servings

    4 slices of lemon

    4 cinnamon sticks

    2 cups of pineapple juice

      We’re trying this recipe for our dinner group! It seems strange that the list of ingredients doesn’t say how much water to boil the sugar and other ingredients in!
