15 Thanksgiving Cocktail Recipes to Make Your Family Gathering More Tolerable

Fact: Family get-togethers are instantly better when cocktails are involved. Case in point: What’s that you’re saying, Aunt Sally? You’re asking me why I’m still single? I’m blissfully smiling and nodding because I have a pumpkin sour in hand. Or, Oh look, dad’s playing the family another home video we’ve seen a hundred times? Mmmm, tablespoons of whipped cream on this Chocolate Caliente, though. Thankful for this food, but mostly thankful for these drinks.
