Ingredients

for the holiday cocktail

for garnish

  • 1/2 slice of orange
  • a few fresh cranberries

Instructions

  • Add the Trader Joe's Winter Wassail drink to a dutch oven. Alternatively, you can also use a large stainless steel pot that's about 3 quarts.
  • Turn on the stove on medium heat. Add the cloves, cinnamon sticks, and slices from half an orange (about 4 orange slices). Also, add spiced bacardi rum. Stir.
  • Reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Keep checking in between.
  • After 15-20 minutes, your holiday cocktail should be bubbling. If it needs to heat up more, then do so.
  • Garnish with fresh cranberries and more orange slices - sliced in half.
  • Serve hot when your guests arrive. If you want to add more spiced rum on top, go ahead. Enjoy!
