Yes. Wassail!
1 gallon of apple cider

1 can frozen concentrated orange juice, thawed

1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

1 tsp whole allspice

1/2 tsp whole cloves

6 cinnamon sticks
Heat everything up for a while, put into hot mug, add booze of choice, (I like captain morgan spiced rum)and add a cinnamon stick and orange wedge. Enjoy

Whew. Let's get the boss blasted at the Christmas party. Uh, that is to say,

a heated beverage sometimes moves through the system a little more quickly,

so go slow.

+1 Monty ... also consider using these "Mulling Spices" with a dark red wine instead of cider.

From the title of this post I would leave out the booze. I may be one of the few alcoholics on the forum. Please don't give us alcohol. We tend to be allergic and break out in orange jump suits and handcuffs :lol:

natibo,? the title asks for a "Hot Alcoholic" beverage.
There is nothing better on a cold night in the winter. We'll maybe except Hot Buttered Rum, but that's a whole nother drink.
cobguy, good call on the red wine .. I'll try that next year.

Other favorite holiday drinks:
Tom and Jerry mix with Brandy or Rum ... fair amount of work but delicious.

This one can be adapted for non-alcoholic uses as well.

natibo, keep on recovering, and good for you. I love the image of breaking out in an orange

jump suit. But you raise a good point, that these hot, mulled (or whatever) beverages work

without the booze. I think as long as people know what's in it, so they can indulge or avoid,

it's okay. Something (good) needs to be provided for people who don't do alcohol, for whatever

reasons. Diabetics can't do it either, and people with other conditions. I don't have a substance

abuse problem with alcohol, but I don't find it makes me jolly and sociable either, more like

a growing sedation. So if I want to stay with the party, not much for me.
