43 Thanksgiving Cocktails to Pair With Turkey, Pie, and Beyond
As you start planning for the holiday, it’s easy to forget about Thanksgiving cocktails—and nonalcoholic drinks. But a well-chosen Thanksgiving drink can make every part of the celebratory meal taste even better. This list of festive cocktail recipes gives you options for every spirit on your bar cart: rye whiskey or bourbon, gin or vodka, mezcal or scotch, and others. Kick off Turkey Day with a plate of hors d’oeuvres and something crisp and fizzy; finish with a slice of pie and a nightcap that’s deep and luscious. (We’re guessing you might not have room for the retro creamy Pink Squirrel, but if you do it’s an excellent choice.) Choose a drink to sip during the meal itself that’ll add a little brightness to dinner, whether from a touch of lemon, lime, tart cranberry, or pomegranate. Scroll down to pick this year’s signature Thanksgiving cocktails—and feel free to delegate the actual drink making to one of your guests.
