my collection of go-to Thanksgiving cocktail recipes

I love to start off the holiday with a house cocktail offered to each guest as they walk in the door, it’s a nice tradition and sets a festive tone for the rest of the day. You can do the same one every year and really cement the tradition, or surprise people with a new one every year.
