How to Make Copycat Dollywood Holiday Wassail

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 12 cups apple cider, 4 cups orange juice, 1 cup cranberry juice, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 6 whole cloves, 4 cinnamon sticks, 1 orange, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugars.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. Serve hot in mugs, optionally garnished with an orange slice, cinnamon stick, or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
