It’s Basically Christmas in a Bottle.
“A sweetened blend of black currant, apple, and lemon juices, with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, and orange peel”
In other words, Trader Joe’s has conveniently created the most perfect, pre-made holiday cocktail mixer of ALL TIME. Traditionally, wassail was enjoyed during medieval Christmastide rituals to ensure an abundant apple harvest for the following year. Thanks to our pals at TJ’s, you can now use it to easily add seasonal flavor to all of your boozy Holiday concoctions. Sure, you could be like your overachieving bartender friend and purchase the spices to make an infused simple syrup, but this product will make you appear just as impressive with a fraction of the effort.
Try Me!
I used my Winter Wassail to create this Mistletoe Martini, which is a festive twist on a classic cosmo.
It’s everything that you want and need in a holiday party cocktail: Easy to make, Delicious, and Beautifully presented.
