Helpful Tips

  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply follow the recipe as is. To add a little kick for adult gatherings, incorporate a splash of rum or brandy.
  • Feel free to substitute the fruit juices with your favorites – guava or papaya juice would be wonderful options.
  • Store any leftover wassail in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
