Do you have a signature Thanksgiving cocktail?  If not, you might find some inspiration below.  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.

The Frozen Turkey

Of course everybody will have to wait until dessert to get their Frozen Turkeys, but these adult cocktail milkshakes are the perfect way to cap off an epic meal.

Cinnamon Maple Whiskey Sour

~ Cookie & Kate

Everybody will get warm and cozy asap with this earthy fall cocktail.

Crock Pot Mulled Wine

~ tvfgi

Fill the slow cooker with everything about an hour before people arrive and not only will you have drinks ready and waiting, your house will smell amazing!

The Cranberry Bog

@theviewfromgreatisland

This fun drink can be made in a punchbowl so people can serve themselves.  Be sure to float a few cranberries on top for the true ‘bog’ effect ;)

Cider Jack Cocktail

~ The Food Network

Applejack and hard cider give this drink a real kick.

Pomegranate Flip

~ Macheesmo

This elegant cocktail is a real stunner.  Buy pasteurized eggs (right there with the regular eggs) if you’re concerned about using the raw egg white.

Cinnamon Rosemary Old Fashioned

~ Salted Plains

A cinnamon rosemary simple syrup makes this classic old fashioned new again.

Pumpkin Spice Liqueur

~ tvfgi

This ultra rich pumpkin cream liqueur is wonderful to sip after dinner, it’s like pumpkin pie in a glass!

Cranberry Ancho Chile Margaritas

~The Inspired Home

A unique combo of cranberry with a little kick of heat from chile makes this a memorable cocktail.

Bourbon Persimmon Amaretto Sour

~ Drinking with Chickens

Made with persimmon simple syrup  from fresh persimmons.

Honey Roasted Pear Sparkling Cocktail

~ Cotter Crunch

Honey roasted pear puree, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg, and a touch of vanilla ~ oh my!

Pomegranate Gin Cocktail

~ Yuppiechef

A simple but super pretty and refreshing gin cocktail.

Pumpkin Pie Martini

~ No Spoon Necessary

With a graham cracker-cinnamon-sugar coated rim, a slight dusting of nutmeg and the stick of cinnamon acting as a stirrer, who needs dessert?
