Thanksgiving is an
American holiday that's all about celebrating what you're thankful for. You gather around the dinner table, eat good food, share stories, and more. Doesn't that sound like a good time? Thanksgiving is the sort of holiday where you have to have fun, sort of like Christmas and New Year's. So if you want to, what's stopping you from serving up some Thanksgiving cocktails before, after, or even during dinner? Surely that'll make your guests feel even more thankful! Especially if you mix these holiday-appropriate cocktails to spice up Thanksgiving dinner!
Pumpkin Martini
Apart from the turkey, Thanksgiving is all about pumpkins. Right after Halloween with its lanterns and
sweet treats, Thanksgiving brings about pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, and now, pumpkin martini! This signature drink reeks of Thanksgiving flavor, from the pumpkin spice that gives one hell of a kick to the strong vodka to ensure you get your much-needed buzz. Oh, and don't forget the heavy cream and vanilla that lightens up the drink in more ways than one too! With all these different sensations swirling at every sip, it's bound to leave you feeling as fulfilled as you were when you left tha Thanksgiving dinner table!

Pear Martini
Still craving a martini? Well, instead of just having pumpkin martini, why not indulge in a pear martini too? Compared to the former, this one is sweeter and more delicate, perfect for those with dainty palettes and strong sweet-tooths. You also have to remember that Thanksgiving is practically one of a handful of holidays where you'll eat your fill and then some. You're bound to go beyond your limits and will likely even want to still drink after. Wouldn't a light cocktail like a pear martini work best for this situation?

Mimosa
Granted, Mimosa is more of a brunch drink that you'd get in
high-class hotspots in LA or Miami, there's nothing wrong with serving it on Thanksgiving too! Think about it: what does a Mimosa consist of? Orange juice and sparkling wine, right? Others would even use champagne instead! Now, isn't the latter perfect for a
sparkling holiday like Thanksgiving? As for the former, some orange juice would make for a great palette cleanser amidst all the turkey, yams, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and the like. Combing those two together into one delicious cocktail simply does the trick!

Apple Sangria
Thanksgiving is all about the autumn fruits. In fact, it's more likely that the pilgrims ate autumn fruits with the Native Americans on the first Thanksgiving than turkey and mashed potatoes. And apart from dessert, wouldn't a fruit cocktail work for Thanksgiving dinner too? You've already got a Pomegranate Processco Sparkley, why not add some Apple Sangria into the mix too? Just mix in some apple cider, dry red wine, brandy, cinnamon, some lemon zest, and, of course, apples, and you're good to do! Also, the great thing about Apple Sangria is that you can serve it like a punch so that most of your guests can enjoy it!
