Once you visit the Traywicks it's an experience you can't forget. Once you've experienced some of the famous Traywick holiday "Wobble" you're lucky if you can make it to the car. 

The famous Holiday Traywick "Wobble" is what most Americans call Wassel. 

1 gal. apple cider
1 qt. orange juice (pure)
1 c. lemon juice
1 qt. pineapple juice
24 whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks 
1/2 c. honey 
1 Qt Mason jar of Fergus Traywick 140 proof moonshine 


Mix all ingredients and simmer (very low heat means VERY low heat for an hour. A crock pot is preferred. This mixture is flammable and if it cooks off and lights the fire trucks can't get there in time to save the house). Serve warm. Yield: 1 3/4 gallons.

Hazel Traywick calls it "Wobble" 'cause you can't walk straight after a cup.  

Leftover wassel may be stored in refrigerator and warmed in microwave for later use, or used to start the lawnmowers or tractors.    

Hargus started a car with it when he was a teenager. He started his Dad's car.https://sbtrof.blogspot.com/2011/02/haircuts-for-mechanics.html 


Several years ago Alvis Traywick took a thermos of Traywick wassel while squirrel hunting. After 2 days the family filed a missing persons report only to be informed by sherrifs deputies that he was in the next county at the local "Gentleman's Club". 


Listening to the Tanners sipping Traywick Wassel is a totally transforming lesson in American English dialect as the Tanners Transform the Tristmas Tirit. Someone tried to tape their Tristmans Tongs but couldn't hold the camera still. 

The Trawick "Wobble" is also credited with being the inspiration  the year Fergus and Uncle Hargus wrote "Help me make it through the yard", and also invented holding onto the grass to keep from falling off the yard. 


One year the seniors sunday school class sipped on some wobble while Christmas caroling and the homeowners called the sheriff because a bunch of drunk folks were wandering down the road singing.

You never drink twice from the same stream.
