Developing a Thanksgiving menu can be stressful. Luckily, whipping up a Thanksgiving cocktail will make you look like a pro at your holiday table. This cocktail with sparkling apple cider, vodka, and thyme and apple garnish is almost too pretty to drink, but it’s easy to make and will have everybody asking whether you’re secretly a mixologist.
What Else Should You Have on Your Thanksgiving Menu?
There are a lot of ways to have a unique Thanksgiving menu, especially if you’re bored with the classics. My family has done an indigenous-inspired Thanksgiving menu to put another spin on the holiday. Also, because we care about our guests’ dietary needs or restrictions, we also have a Thanksgiving mocktail for guests who might not be drinking this season. You also may want to consider having a plant-based or gluten-free dish, as those dietary trends are on the rise. Also, try making batch cocktails if you have a big group!
