Non-Alcoholic Ginger Wassail
This Non-Alcoholic Ginger Wassail is technically not a Gluehwein as it’s made with cider instead of wine- but it is every bit as flavorful as the adult versions!
This recipe is perfection at a party. It is so easy- dump the ingredients in a pot on the stove or in a crockpot, set to low, and let it simmer away during a party.
Just set out some cute glasses or mugs and a pretty ladle and your guests can serve themselves little cups of cheer!
How to make Non-Alcoholic Ginger Wassail
Assemble the following ingredients:
- Cherry apple cider – if you can’t find cherry apple cider you can add regular apple cider or in the off season apple juice and a cup of applesauce for a similar result.
- Concord grape juice – grape juice adds a very vibrant color and sugar which is evenly distributed.
- Pineapple juice – pineapple is very sweet and adds a nice tropical twist to this warm winter drink.
- Lemon juice – lemon juice is highly acidic and brings a bright note to the party.
- Mulling spices – mulled spices is a mixture of seasonal spices which make it taste like fall/winter.
- Cinnamon sticks – cinnamon is a very festive spice and has an earth warmth that will warm you inside and out in the cooler months.
- Cloves – cloves have a sharp earthy taste that will make this taste extra festive. If you don’t want bits of clove throughout you can stick the cloves into the sliced apple and pear.
- Ginger – I prefer to use fresh grated ginger for the best freshest taste. You can also substitute ginger beer (non alcoholic)
- Apple, Pear, and Orange – I love to add these fruits sliced in rounds for added flavor and texture.
Once you have assembled the ingredients use the following method
Mix. Add all the ingredients to a slow cooker or crock pot.
Simmer and serve. Let simmer for at least one hour on low then remove the oranges from the liquid to avoid a bitter taste. Serve and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks for perfect Non-Alcoholic Ginger Wassail
Mix up the sliced fruit. You can use any sliced fruit you want for this recipe. I frequently will use lemons and limes for a sharper taste.
Use cheesecloth. I prefer to put the clove and anise in a little cheesecloth pouch so that it doesn’t get in your glass when you try to serve.
FAQs
I like to keep leftovers in a jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to a week.
No, you can drink this at any temperature, but I prefer it piping hot.
