Trivia: What type of fall drink is wassail?
Spiked coffee
Pumpkin smoothie
Mulled cider
Hot chocolate
Correct Answer: Mulled cider
So why is this answer correct? : The word “wassail” comes from the Old Norse phrase “ves heill,” meaning “be healthy.” It’s a salutation and also the name of a popular drink better known as mulled cider. The connection comes from the medieval tradition of wassailing in England, when groups would gather during the apple harvest to celebrate a good crop. The drink of choice during the event was mulled cider, which is apple cider that is heated and mixed with orange peels, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and other spices.
