We’ve had this tall green one-litre thermos on hand long before the 2024 Stanley trend. It keeps liquids hot for more than 24 hours, which is absolutely outrageous! Since we’re making Wassail today to bring on our Solstice Sunrise Walk, we sized our family Wassail recipe to suit. This recipe is alcohol-free, but you can easily add your tipple of choice by decanting into the mug from a separate traveler as you’re on your merry way.

Our family's favourite Wassail sized to fit our ~1 Litre/1 Quart Thermos.

When serving, if so desired, add a shot of your favourite spirit or alcohol-free spirit to your mug [rum or whiskey flavours, for example].
Hot Wassail!
