Apples and Spices: ‘History in the Tasting’
Spices and apples have been part of traditional winter drinks for centuries.
Wassail was an apple punch that has morphed into the mulled drinks we enjoy during the modern festive season.
Most mulled drinks include spices such as cinnamon, cloves and ginger along with fruit - chief among them, the apple.
Wassailing was originally a traditional ceremony held in orchards to encourage a good harvest the following autumn.
It also refers to the singing of carols.
In centuries gone by, the poor of the towns and villages would sing festive songs at the doors of their richer counterparts - and would be provided with warming refreshment from their wassail bowl, and a couple of minutes to warm up in front of the hearth.
With this festive history of spices and apples, It’s no wonder that York Gin Spiced Apple instantly conjures winters past. You’d expect no less from York Gin - ‘History in the Tasting’.
