Pro-Tips / Chef’s Notes:
Ah, the delightful chaos of Thanksgiving! If you’re serving up a table full of culinary masterpieces without the booze, fear not! Here are some cheeky tips to elevate your non-alcoholic sips from “meh” to “my, what a sophisticated palate you have!”
- Infusion Station: Create a DIY infusion station with fruits, herbs, and spices. Offer guests a range of flavor combinations like cinnamon apple or ginger citrus. They’ll love the interactive experience, and it gives you a break from grandma’s critique on your “mixology” skills.
- Garnish Game Strong: Jazz up any simple drink with an unusual garnish. Think pomegranate seeds nestled in a spritz, or a sprig of rosemary floating in sparkling water. It’s all about the presentation-just like your Thanksgiving outfit, but way less problematic.
Finally, don’t shy away from a little mocktail magic! Use recipes from classic cocktails as templates to create fun alternatives that will make your relatives question whether you’re actually 21 or just really good at faking it. Here’s a quick table of some crowd-pleasing options:
| Mocktail Name | Main Ingredients | Chef’s Secret |
