So grab your shaker, don that apron, and let’s mix up some libations that are sure to have your family laughing louder than Grandma after one too many sweet potato marshmallows!
Recipe:
Non-Alcoholic Cranberry Fizz
Get ready to tickle your taste buds with this bubbly concoction that’ll make you forget about the absence of alcohol! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Slices of fresh lime
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Combine the cranberry juice and lime juice in a festive glass-preferably one adorned with glitter from last year’s Thanksgiving debacle. Add in the sparkling water for that pop, and garnish with the fresh mint and lime slices. Voilà! It’s the drink that screams, “I’m fun, and I didn’t need a hangover to get here!”
Pumpkin Spice Mocktail
Why let all the pumpkin spice go to waste? This mocktail will have you sipping in bliss without the booze. Here’s your shopping list:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Whipped cream for topping
In a blender, mix the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, apple cider, and maple syrup until smooth. Pour into your favorite glass and top with a cloud of whipped cream that says, “I’m only here for the sugar!” Don’t forget to sprinkle a little extra pumpkin spice on top for that Instagram-worthy touch-because if it’s not on Instagram, did you even pumpkin spice it?
Thanksgiving Twisted Lemonade
This playful drink packs a punch of zest and a side of giggles. Here’s how to whip it up:
| Ingredients | Amount |
| Lemonade | 2 cups |
| Ginger ale | 1 cup |

| Holiday-themed ice cubes | A handful |
Mix the lemonade with the ginger ale, pour over ice cubes that look like little Santa hats if you’re feeling festive, and toss in some lemon slices for the garnish. This sip will have your relatives whispering, “Did you just gift us a lemonade that’s this good?!”-and that’s when you can allow yourself a triumphant grin.

Pro-Tips / Chef’s Notes:
Looking to spice up your Thanksgiving festivities? Mixology is your friend! Try out some surprising flavor combos that will tickle your taste buds and entertain your guests. Consider going for unexpected herbs like rosemary or sage in your beverages. Sippable sage and savory shrubs can turn any ordinary drink into a festive masterpiece. Don’t be afraid to experiment; after all, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to push the flavor boundaries! If it sounds a bit outrageous, it probably needs to be tried!
To keep the family vibes flowing, prepare a sipping station. Set up a table with various mixers, garnishes, and spirits (or non-alcoholic options)-think lemon wedges, cinnamon sticks, and an array of fruity purees. This way, everyone can craft their own concoction: let your Aunt Mildred blend cranberry juice with a touch of ginger beer, while your cousin Jimmy creates a wild apple pie spritzer. With a little creativity and lots of laughter, your guests will be mixing their own upbeat potions in no time!
| Drink Name | Main Ingredients | Fun Twist |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin Spice Fizz | Sparkling water, pumpkin puree, cinnamon | Add a dollop of whipped cream on top! |
| Cranberry Mule | Cranberry juice, ginger beer, lime | Muddle with fresh mint for an extra zing. |
