I was thinking of trying this for a crowd. Pretty too and you can fix it and forget it.

Negroni Sbagliato

I also love a mulled wine that simmers all day. One of my fave Thanksgivings with family friends. Perfect with the meal as well.

Highly recommend the Minnesota Goodbye for any cold-weather festive occasion: https://www.seriouseats.com/minnesota-goodbye-cranberry-french-75-variation-winter-cocktail-recipe

Vodka and gravy

I like to make a rosemary-orange old fashioned. I make my own simple syrup with water, sugar, orange slices, and a rosemary sprig. When that’s done, cooled, and strained, I mix like a couple teaspoons with 2 oz of bourbon and a splash of bitters. Pour over ice and garnish with orange slice and small clump of rosemary needles. It’s the perfect seasonal drink!

Apple cider with Meyers Dark Rum and squeeze of lemon. Also great with Makers Mark bourbon

I'm going to try this three ways:

1. with sparkling water for kids
2. with vodka and sparkling water for my mom, who doesn't drink wine
3. with prosecco

The base seems pretty versatile.

Cranberry bourbon fizz-
2oz bourbon
2oz real cranberry juice (not sweetened)
4 oz ginger beer (preferably bundaberg)

Sangria is my go-to for Thanksgiving

*make drinks

I make cranberry sauce with real cranberries and grand marnier.

Then I use a scoop of it to take drinks:

Cranberry and champagne

Cranberry, seltzer and rum

Cranberry and whiskey

Cranberry and rum chata blended with a sugar rim for a sweet drink


I’m so excited about it

Cranberry Moscow mule would be my go-to! Or make mimosas with apple cider instead of OJ if you’re starting the festivities earlier in the day.

I think anything with flavors like cranberry, apple, vanilla, ginger, or cinnamon would be festive. Rosemary if you want to do something herby, or as a garnish.

I thought I might try to serve something fun, in addition to wine. Any suggestions?
