Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than one week away? Me either!
I usually don’t host Thanksgiving, but for the people who do (or for those of you who want to bring something fun to your gathering), why not a perfect Thanksgiving-inspired cocktail? Check out these great recipes:
Spiked Apple Cider (makes 8 servings)
What you’ll need:
- 2 quarts apple cider
- 1 cup apple brandy
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
How to make it:
- Combine all the ingredients in a large pot over high heat, then simmer. Lower the heat and keep warm. Strain and serve.
Pecan Pie Martini (makes 4 servings)
What you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
- Ice cubes
- 4 ounces (1/2 cup) vodka
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to make it:
- Place your brown sugar and chopped pecans on two separate plates. Dip your martini into a bit of corn syrup, then into the brown sugar and pecans. Repeat with all glasses.
- Place ice inside a cocktail shaker, then add 1/4 cup vodka, 1/4 cup corn syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Strain into 2 glasses. Repeat with the remaining items.
And one for the kiddies, or those not consuming alcohol:
