Thanksgiving Easy to make Holiday Drinks: Holiday Punch, Pumpkin Spice Martini & MORE!

Thanksgiving Easy to make Holiday Drinks: Holiday Punch, Pumpkin Spice Martini & MORE!


It's one day before Thanksgiving and I hope you already shopped for your menu for tomorrow! I am absolutely excited for tomorrow's Thanksgiving meal! I know it has been chilly days and nights, for some areas you might have experienced the first snowfall. I decided to share some really easy to make drinks that I even might try myself. 

Again, this is not my recipe, I just took the liberty of researching and gather what I think will be a hit this Thanksgiving. 


Holiday Punch

Make a day in advance to allow the flavors to meld.

1/3 cup white sugar

In a large container, mix together sugar, cranberry juice, pineapple juice and almond extract. Refrigerate for 1 day.

Cherry Gin-gria

Ingredients:

Ice cubes
2 ounces cherry syrup (recommended: Giammona)
2 ounces gin
5 to 6 ounces club soda
1-ounce red wine
Maraschino cherries
Fresh or frozen raspberries

Direction:

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cherry syrup and the gin; stir to mix together. Lighten the drink with a generous splash of soda. Float a layer of red wine on top by pouring it over the back of a wide, flat spoon. (Don't worry if it doesn't float; it tastes great either way.) Drop a few maraschino cherries and raspberries into the glass. Drink.
