Cocktail Recipe For Thanksgiving

What's the most important ingredient in a Thanksgiving bash? The cocktails, of course. Keep family and friends happy while you're putting the finishing touches on the Thanksgiving spread,

Keep your stress level in check with some killer cocktails. You could serve your standard gin and tonics and old fashioneds, but we think you'll love these fall-inspired boozy beverages just a little bit more. Bring on the maple, apple, and cinnamon flavors—and, of course, pumpkin-spiced everything.

Time to get out the cinnamon. Complete with homemade cinnamon-spiced rosemary syrup and topped with brûléed blood oranges, this old-fashioned is equal parts refreshing and warming—the perfect balance for a Thanksgiving cocktail.

Late autumn cocktails call for something warming, and equal parts sweet and spicy. This vanilla chai old fashioned cocktail meets the mark, and then some.

It may not be time for mistletoe just yet, but this cocktail will definitely make you pucker up. Your Thanksgiving cocktail menu isn't complete without persimmons and a little bourbon.

Say cheers with chardonnay shots for a cocktail that's equal parts fun, festive, and classy. Their golden sheen ensures they'll fit in with all your fall decorations, too.

Easy Thanksgiving Punch Recipe

Move over, cranberry vodka soda. Dress your mules up for Thanksgiving with pomegranate, the most underrated red fruit of the season (and every season, let's be real). This cocktail is a little sweet, a little sour, and perfectly spicy for an extra kick.

Give your fall sangria a little mystery with some maple syrup, ginger beer, cinnamon, and plenty of fruit. Extra points if you serve it in a pumpkin-shaped glass bowl.

For a Fall Margarita you need is some apple cider, tequila, triple sec, and club soda. They'll combine together to create a warm, citrusy drink with a little fizz. Add a little honey and salt to the rim and garnish with apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and fresh herbs for the ultimate holiday cocktail!

How To Make Wild Thanksgiving Recipe

Cider: Instead, you could try something tart like a cranberry or diet cran-raspberry juice. A little more fancy and harder to find is pomegranate kombucha, but it would be AMAZING in this fall margarita!

Tequila: This Thanksgiving Margarita can easily be made without tequila. I suggest swapping it for either vodka or gin which will both complement the rest of the ingredients in this cocktail nicely.

1. First, let's line the rims of our glasses with honey and salt. Pour honey and salt on two separate flat plates. Dip the rim of the glass in the honey. Then, immediately after, dip it in the salt. You can also use sugar or cinnamon sugar if you'd like! Then, fill the rimmed glasses with ice and set to the side.

Typically, I recommend using a tequila that you can enjoy on its own too. The smoother the tequila, the smoother the cocktail is to drink. For this recipe, you can use any silver or gold tequila as the apple cider will taint the color of the drink.

I have these brands on my bar cart: Espolon Blanco, Olmeca Plata Tequila, and Jose Cuervo. Feel free to try an infused tequila in this recipe. It will emphasize the fall flavors throughout!

Apple Cider is the main juice of this fall cocktail, but doesn't mean you can't get creative. Feel free to add a splash of orange juice, lime juice (for more acid), or even pear juice! It adds a unique twist to the margarita.
