Great Cocktails Perfect for Thanksgiving or Any Holiday Event!

Thanksgiving isn’t just creeping up on us; it’s essentially an out-of-control train that is increasing its speed with every day that goes by. I  have a great array of diverse cocktails that you can create that you and your guests will be pleased to sip.
Some cocktails will require more ingredients and some will be as easy as opening up a can and pouring the beverage into a glass filled with ice!

Don’t worry if you don’t have any guests yet… Thanksgiving is sure to give you opportunities to have a cocktail with friends and/or family as well as enjoying a  cocktail on your own!
