I took this to a New Year's party and it was a HUGE hit. Everyone kept asking me what was in it because it was so good. Will definitely make again.

This is a fabulous recipe! Even my sister, who isn't very fond of wassail, enjoyed this recipe. And it's just as delicious cold, and with a touch of lemon-lime soda.

Delicious! This was my first time making wassail, and it was very good. My guests asked for the recipe. I'm giving this four stars because I've never had wassail that wasn't yummy, and I don't think this was necessarily better than wassail that I've tried other times/places.

This brought back memories for the grandparents! We loved it. My 6-year-old daughter even liked to drink it cold because she doesn't like hot drinks. But everyone else drank it hot. It was great either way. I don't ever have cheesecloth lying around, but I at least should have strained the cloves out after preparing the recipe because some of them sank after they got saturated and then it is a lot harder to fish them out.

I had wassail when I was young and have always loved it. This recipe is exactly like what I remember, it's delicious! I've made it at Christmas for the past 3 or 4 yrs and it is always a hit. I like to stick the cloves into the outside of and orange and drop the whole thing in.....gives it extra flavor and you don't have to worry about fishing out the cloves. Also, I often put out a bottle of Apple Brandy with the cider which makes a great adult version.

This was a nice variation on traditional apple cider. I liked the citrus flavor added by the orange and pineapple juices. I received compliments from multiple guests!

So Yummy! I added 1/3 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of red hots candy, just to give it some zing. I also let it simmer for about an hour and a half, which just helped to blend the flavors, and the whole house smelled fantastic. Everyone at the party raved!
