Wassail

Wassail is basically a warm rum punch flavored with fruit and spices.  This stuff is potent, tasty and a traditional beverage to serve up at Christmas and New Year's, especially if you live somewhere cold.

Ingredients:
(Yields 30 servings)

1 gallon apple cider
2 quarts cranberry juice
1 tbsp aromatic bitters
4 cinnamon sticks
1 tbsp white allspice
2 oranges, studded with cloves
2 cups (Appleton Estate V/X®) Rum


Combine all ingredients and warm slowly over low heat.  Serve warm, and if you can keep the punch on heat, even better (the smells of cinnamon and apple will float through your house).
