A Beginner’s Guide to Thanksgiving Cocktails |
The holidays are a time that allows us to gather and spend time with family and friends. When it comes to hosting a gathering, it can be stressful to find the right beverages and Thanksgiving cocktails. This is especially true for beginners who are just entering the world of cocktail-making. Luckily, there are many simple cocktail recipes you can enjoy this Thanksgiving. Here, Joe Canal’s introduces four easy Thanksgiving cocktails that beginners can make this holiday season. Apple Cider MimosaOne of the easiest and best Thanksgiving cocktails you can make is an apple cider mimosa. For this recipe, all you need is apple cider and your favorite champagne. This can be an ideal drink for early Thanksgiving celebrations or brunches. An apple cider mimosa can be customized in many different ways. For example, you can choose a more cinnamon-flavored apple cider to deliver a spicy holiday beverage. There are also several choices for the kind of champagne that goes into the cocktail. Because the champagne is being mixed with apple cider, the options are endless when it comes to picking the right champagne. However, it is recommended that you use a traditional brut champagne over rosé. This allows the flavors and notes to blend beautifully, creating a delicious taste. Customers can also choose the ratio in which they blend their cocktail. While traditionally a mimosa consists of 50% champagne and 50% mixer, you can alter this ratio to include more champagne or more apple cider. You can even get a little creative with your cocktail by rimming the glass in brown sugar and topping it off with an apple slice. Irish CoffeeAn Irish coffee beverage can be the perfect way to combat those tryptophan-induced naps after finishing up your big Thanksgiving meal. And what’s more – it’s a great cocktail for beginners. To make an Irish coffee, you need Irish whiskey, hot coffee, heavy cream, and sugar. To create the cocktail, you can simply mix the ingredients. However, the heavy cream should be used to top off the cocktail after mixing the other ingredients. This way, you can have a delicious foam dressing that not only enhances the flavor but also makes it look like it was done by a professional. Coffee drinkers will love this beverage as a tasty dessert, or as a way to give them the energy needed to enjoy the holiday with family. Moscow Mule Thanksgiving CocktailA traditional Moscow mule delivers strong, delicious flavors when made correctly. It can also be customized to add holiday notes and spices. For those who want an extra kick in their Thanksgiving cocktail, making a cranberry-flavored Moscow mule can fit the bill. For this cocktail, you need ginger beer, vodka, cranberry juice, and sparkling apple juice. To make it, you must first mix the cranberry juice and vodka in a glass. Next, you add the sparkling apple juice. To finish the cocktail, just fill the rest of the glass with ginger beer and stir to mix the flavors. This Moscow mule can be garnished with fresh cranberries or topped with apple slices to make the cocktail look as good as it tastes. Hot ToddyFor those who want to cozy up and stay warm for Thanksgiving, serving up a warm cocktail is the ideal solution. A Hot Toddy cocktail is made with black tea and bourbon, along with other ingredients like honey and lemon juice. After preparing the tea, you can add lemon juice, bourbon, and honey for added flavor. For the best experience, your Hot Toddy should be served immediately. This way, guests can have their cocktail at a warm, satisfying temperature. It also allows guests to experience the different flavors and notes at their strongest. If you’re looking to take the cocktail a step further, you can add a cinnamon stick or lemon slice for a stunning holiday garnish.
