Gina,.Fl (01:56:20) : New Year's Eve Punch

2 ounces almond flavoring
1 can pineapple juice
1 jar cranberry juice (medium size)
2 cups sugar
Mix above together and add 1 liter of gingerale before serving. You can add amaretto to this if you would like a spirited punch. I add about 1 and 3/4 cup of amaretto. It tastes very good without the alcohol, however.

Susannahoh (10:04:50) : Some more beverages form Suzanne Huntley's "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

Wassail

6 small tart apples
3 pints ale at room temperature
1 c brown sugar
1 t each: ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg
2-3 whole cloves
thin strips of lemon peel
1 pint Malaga wine or sherry

Core apples, dry roast, without sugar, in a moderate oven until they almost burst and are white and fleecy. Combine 1 pint ale with brown sugar, spices and lemon peel, and simmer10-15 minutes. Add the rest of the ale and wine, and heat thoroughly but do not boil.

A good way to serve wassail is to put an apple in each mug and ladle the hot spice ale and wine over it. After several ladlings nearly everybody wants to eat the apple, now too soft to manage by hand, so provide spoons too.
Serves 6

Buttered Rum

For each serving, place 2 ounces dark rum, a twist of lemon peel and a stick of cinnamon in a low tankard or mug. Fill with boiling cider or water, add a thin pat of butter and stir it with the cinnamon stick.
