Any other hot alcoholic drinks we should know about? My wife brought back tales of "German fire punch" from a weekend away, which also sounds exciting.

Ah! Thank's for this thread. It's something I keep meaning to ask but I forget.
I've noticed that there are loads of places that are selling 'Mulled Cider' this year. Never noticed it before; is it wide spread? I take it that I'm being fick and it was around last year too.
A bit of googling tells me that it is the original 'Wassail' as in the drinking toast.
I might try it sometime, but something makes me think that it going to be too much for me.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

You want to try a Rumtopf then, all that is done and more. One of the most potent creations known to man (I've seen the fumes from one eat through silver foil.)Originally posted by Alf W View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Glühwein, disgusting stuff IMHO. Everyhere in Germany sells it at the moment. I prefer the little stand in the Weihnachtsmarkt that does all these weird and wonderful variations on a hot Schnapps, some are pretty lethal.Originally posted by d000hg View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

WHS - Like spicing meat, the only reason they used to mull wine in the middle ages was because it tasted so vile on it own.Originally posted by Alf W View Post
Even King John couldn't get hold of decent wine, and he complained about the bits floating in it and the reak of tar from the barrels, so much so that he could only drink it while holding his breath.
