Sorry, Ruth - we crossed in the post. How do you make cinnamon vodka? Phil Tanner, the Gower nightingale, had a recipe which he brewed secretly before going out with the Gower Wassail. The wassailers would come to the houses in Llangennith, and the neighbours would invite them in, each one topping up the 'susan' (Gower dialect for a eight-pint wassail pot) with gin, whisky, vodka, anything you could name. At the end of the wassail, Phil and his friends would retire into their snug at The King's Head, with full wassail pot, where the landlady has thoughtfully provided straw. They would not come out again for three days.
