Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and of course no holiday would be complete without festive food & drinks. Though Thanksgiving food is pretty much set in stone (we're talking turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and pumpkin pie), there is lots of fun to be had when it comes to the drinks menu.
If you're looking for a manly yet Thanksgiving-themed cocktail for the upcoming long weekend, be sure to check out the list below. From pumpkin beer to the cranberry old fashioned, you'll wish you could be sipping on these drinks all year round.
The Old Fashioned is the most manly cocktail on the planet. Fit for a gentleman dresses in a sharp suit and houndstooth undies, put a Thanksgiving twist on this classic cocktail by adding cranberries and spices. This unique drink contains cranberry syrup, spiced rum, brown sugar, bitters, orange zest, and a sprig of rosemary to garnish. Plus, it is the perfect accompaniment to turkey and cranberry sauce. Tasty and festive rolled into one.
Because we all know men love beer, we've added a special Thanksgiving-inspired beer cocktail to this list. To pair with the sweet pumpkin pie you're surely going to devour post-turkey dinner, is none other than the Pumpkin Beer Cocktail. Soon to be your favourite drink ever, this unique recipe includes just three ingredients: pumpkin beer, vanilla flavoured vodka (or whipped cream flavoured vodka if you can find it), and cinnamon schnapps. Warning: you may prefer this to actual pumpkin pie...
Dubbed the oldest cocktail in history, sazerac dates back centuries. Putting a holiday spin on this historical drink is the Apple Cider Sazerac. After all, sweet apple cider perfectly complements a warm spirit like rye. To make this strong cocktail a reality, you'll need sugar cubes, bitters, rye, cider, ice, lemon, and absinthe. Things are about to get a little crazy this Thanksgiving.
Take mulled cider to the next level with the addition of a little bourbon. Infused with warm spices and sweet apples, this chilled cocktail is the epitome of fall. Containing apple cider, cinnamon, ginger, and bourbon, you'll want to be sipping on this all weekend long.
Ideal as an after-dinner drink, this coffee with a kick pairs perfectly with Thanksgiving desserts. To create this caffeine and alcohol infused masterpiece, you will need to grab Fireball cinnamon whiskey, coffee, milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and whipped cream. As if that isn't delightful enough already, you can opt to garnish with caramel syrup and cinnamon sticks. Can someone please explain to me why this isn't on the menu at Starbucks yet?
