Is this event period? If so none of Johnna’s suggestions are appropriate as they are post medieval. 

If period, I would stick to David’s suggestion for recipes for drinks in Al-Andalus or I would serve hot spiced wine, which the British traditionally serve on Christmas Day! Actually, it is not alcoholic as it is heated. I find that delightful! It hits the right spot to DETHan cold bones!
