Could you wrap up a Thanksgiving feast without a turkey day cider? No cocktail is equal to a dip in festivity and merriment. Every guest that drops by wishes to let loose and enjoy quaffing flavorful cocktails. Believe it or not, but alcohol gets the conversations rolling.
 
Regardless of the umpteen items you dish out, not having the right cocktails on a pass is a real kicker. Don’t worry about knocking up some simple cocktail recipes.
 
Cocktail recipes that are easier whisked than pictured
 
1. Hot Apple Cider – Nothing screams tradition louder than a classic apple cider. Wondering if it’s a challenge to prep the holiday favorite? Absolutely not! Stir together some delicious apple juice, cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg, all spice, brown sugar, zest or peels of a lemon, and rum. Pop in a stick of cinnamon and fine slices of apple for garnishing.
 
Did you know that a few recipes demand adding a dollop of butter to the drink? Whisking in some butter amplifies the oomph and the fruity, zesty flavors in the cocktail.
 
2. Caramel Apple Martini – Filling the martini glasses with a scrumptious caramel-infused cocktail will have your guests awe-struck. The best part – stirring the drink is a cakewalk. A handful of ingredients like caramel, kosher salt, apple cider, and vodka is all you need to prep the drink. Add cold water and dunk in a few ice cubes in the glass. Spoon in caramel around the rim of the martini glasses and ward out the water. Once the caramel has set, run the rim of the glass in very little kosher salt.
 
Meanwhile, fill up the cocktail shaker with 2 oz of caramel flavored vodka and a little extra, around 3 oz of apple cider vinegar. Swing and jiggle the shaker well. Strain the drink, fill the martini glass, and serve chilled.
 
3. French 75 With A Pomegranate Twist – Of course, you are familiar with the flavors of a classic gin and champagne cocktail. Famous as the French 75. Little did you know that a slight tweak could work wonders and amp up the flavors of the drink by leaps and bounds. The pomegranate twist matters big.
 
How do you prepare?
 
The cocktail shaker is a primary piece of equipment. Add 2 oz of gin and sparkling wine, 1/2 oz of Cointreau, around one oz of fresh lime juice, and 1/2 oz of pomegranate molasses. The rich molasses is a cardinal ingredient in the cocktail. Shake well and strain the drink into your glass. Add a dash of sparkling wine for a tasty finish. Do up a pretty garnishing with red pomegranate seeds.
 
4. Boulevardier – Stuffing yourself up to the gills after a big fat fancy Thanksgiving dinner is very common. Save a secret for a relishing ending. Wondering what? The magical cocktail, known as the Boulevardier. Kissing goodbye to the fogginess after devouring a lavish spread isn’t easy. This cocktail though works like magic in dwindling the heaviness.
 
Putting the concoction together is easy. Whisk 11/2 oz of bourbon, 3/4 oz of deliciously sweet vermouth, and equal parts of Campari in the shaker. Give it a good joggle before straining the mix in your cocktail glass. Pop in fine strips of orange peel for a touch of tang and bitterness.
