It’s the very last Saturday of October and that means two things. Halloween is tomorrow (so excited!) and then, it’s officially Thanksgiving time! I’ve said this many times before, but I love Thanksgiving. For me, it’s such a fun family holiday and I love that food and drinks play such a HUGE role in Thanksgiving. The food is great, of course, but personally, I have a lot of fun with the Thanksgiving cocktails as well. Well, really all holiday cocktails. Thanksgiving is great because the drinks can be pitcher style, warming, or after-dinner drinks (like my espresso martini). They’re just fun, and I love to play them up as much as possible! Something about the holidays makes drinks even more “merry”. I love entertaining with my family while mixing up cocktails in the kitchen. Being behind the kitchen counter is my “safety blanket”, it keeps me moving and talking away. Plus, I just have a lot of fun making them! The last two years in a row I’ve shared this round-up style post for Thanksgiving drinks and it’s been so popular. So I’m bringing it back again this year and sharing the top drinks for 2021. It’s a VERY good list. I hope you enjoy this round-up of oldies, but goodies. Some of my favorite HBH Thanksgiving cocktails are listed below. And with that, let me know YOUR personal favorites. Lastly, I have so many cocktails planned, but I love hearing your ideas! Let me know what drinks you guys would love to see this month…and for December too! I’m already so excited!! Have a great Halloween! See you tomorrow for another Sunday Favorites! Vanilla Espresso Martini Ingredients
