As we ease into Thanksgiving, the appeal of that holiday often lies in the wide spectrum of delicious food — and drinks!
As we ease into Thanksgiving, the appeal of that holiday often lies in the wide spectrum of delicious food to be found on the serving tables around the country—turkey, potatoes, corn, stuffing, ham, cranberry, stringbeans, etc. Visions of the traditional Horn of Plenty stimulate the craving for a wide variety of edibles. So why not have the same apply to your cocktails this year? Here is a mish-mash of drinks that work for the cool temperatures outside and the collection of cooked goods inside. But first, let’s start with three Thanksgiving-themed drinks:
Cranberry Winter Solstice By Manny Hinojosa
1.5 oz Grey Goose La Poire Vodka
1.5 oz 
The Perfect Purée Cranberry Puree, thawed
1 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz agave nectar
Ginger beer (to top)
3 drops sesame chili oil
Lemon wheel (for garnish)
In a cocktail shaker combine all ingredients with ice except ginger beer and sesame chili oil. Shake and serve over the rocks in a Collins glass. Top with ginger beer and 3 drops of sesame oil. Garnish with lemon wheel.
