So here\u2019s a question for you. What good are November\u2019s famous holiday fixings without the right Thanksgiving drinks to go with them?<\/p>\n
With the excess emphasis that\u2019s put on the food consumed on this great American day of feasting (which admittedly makes perfect sense), liquid love is often lost in the turkey \u2018n\u2019 stuffing shuffle.<\/p>\n
That said, let\u2019s be 100% prepared this year. Let\u2019s be sure that the gratitude-party gets started and goes strong all day long \u2014 in both classic<\/em> and classy<\/em> ways.<\/p>\n Nowadays, Thanksgiving feasts take the form of many mouthwatering meals. For some it\u2019s a hearty breakfast or an ongoing brunch. Others stick to the traditional lunch\/dinner spread. And some extra-festive families and friends even opt to celebrate with an all-day affair. (And why not? Many of us do have lots<\/em> to be thankful for.)<\/p>\n So from mixed drinks and Thanksgiving cocktails, to wine pairings and holiday brews \u2014 here are some Thanksgiving drinks to have handy around the clock on that fateful fourth Thursday of the month.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Classic:<\/strong><\/span> Bloody marys are best.<\/strong> But having mimosas available as well is a great idea, for those who may not be tomato juice fans.<\/p>\n Classy:<\/span> Coffee + Bailey\u2019s or Kahl\u00faa.<\/strong> Your morning caffeine fix is guaranteed to be the best part of waking up, with this in your cup.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Classic:<\/strong><\/span> Apple cider + rum.<\/strong> Delight in this drink for Thanksgiving served either hot or cold. It\u2019s light enough to enjoy an ample glass before eating, while still packing just enough punch to get you pretty pumped for the food ahead.<\/p>\n Classy:<\/strong><\/span> A bit of bubbly.<\/strong> Champagne is the <\/em>beverage for celebrating \u2014 and Thanksgiving is the<\/em> holiday for celebrating gratitude. So putting a glass in guests\u2019 hands is the perfect way to welcome them into your home. But remember! Champagne rocks some carbonation, so go easy on the bubbly to ensure bellies have plenty of room left for the feast that lies ahead.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Classic:<\/strong><\/span> Wine.<\/strong> Almost any red variety is a safe bet when it comes to putting Thanksgiving wine on the table; but pinot noir is often the ideal choice. Pinot flavors and aromas win the wine pairing battle that comes with trying to accommodate the smorgasbord of \u2018yum!<\/em>\u2019 that adorns guests\u2019 plates.<\/p>\n Classy:<\/strong><\/span> Scotch<\/strong>. Whether straight or on the rocks, this or any other favorite spirit is fantastic for wetting your whistle, plus<\/em> leaving plenty of stomach space for a plateful of turkey and tryptophan.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\nMorning Thanksgiving Drinks! <\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
