There is nothing better than the flavors of Fall, especially on a crisp, Thanksgiving day morning. Below are our favorite Thanksgiving day alcoholic treats to make for your family and friends.
Apple Cider Sangria
(via howsweeteats.com)
1 bottle (standard size) of pinot grigio
2 1/2 cups fresh apple cider
1 cup club soda
1/2 cup ginger brandy
3 honey crisp apples, chopped
3 pears, chopped
Vanilla Vodka Chai Tea
(via mylifeasamrs.com)
6 oz. strong Chai Tea (I used 1 tea bag for 6 oz. water)
2 oz. vanilla vodka
¾ oz. amaretto liqueur
½ oz. simple sugar
½ oz. half n half
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and steep 4 tea bags for 2 to 4 minutes (following the tea directions on the box). Allow to cool and refrigerate until time of use (3 cups tea will yield 4 drinks). In a cocktail shaker or tall glass, combine ingredients and shake or stir generously (shaking will froth up the half n half and help release the infused flavor in the spirits). Fill glass with ice and pour drink over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or two.
Caramel Apple Pie Martini
(via berries.com)
2 ounces Apple Pie vodka
1 ounce Kissed Caramel vodka
1 ounce Velvet Cinn Horchata
1 ounce half & half
Caramel sauce and crushed graham crackers for garnish
Rim a martini glass with caramel sauce; then dip the glass in crushed graham crackers. Set aside. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine both vodkas, horchata, and half & half. Shake vigorously and pour into prepared martini glass.
Pumpkin Pie Martini

1 fluid ounce heavy whipping cream (or for a little lighter you can use half and half)

Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Whipped whipping cream
