Traditional Wassail

Traditional Wassail

The act of ‘wassailing’ dates back to pre-Christian times in England when apple farmers would gather mid-winter in their orchards to pour cider on the trees and shout ‘waes hael’, meaning, ‘good health’, to ward off evil spirits and ensure a healthy crop in the spring. Over the course of centuries, wassailing turned into Christmas revelry with a toast for good cheer and health.

Radler Beer

The Radler Beer was created In the 1920’s when a German tavern owner suddenly realized that he didn’t have enough beer on tap to quench the thirst of a large group of parched cyclists who had entered his bar after cycling through the Bavarian countryside. He quickly found a solution by adding sparkling lemonade to the beer and dubbed the drink the Radler, meaning ‘cyclist’ in German.

The recipe for this traditional cocktail first appeared in 1862 when it was included in Jerry Thomas’s The Bartender’s Guide. However, it had been in existence for decades prior to its publishing as it had been popular with sailors who drank a form of the concoction to prevent the onset of scurvy.
