Drinking a toast to the turkey day celebrations is not an ordinary affair. As much as you would love to picture the carousel as relaxing and easy-going, kissing goodbye to stress without gulping down the fine cocktails is hard-won. Puzzled? Not sure how stress will play rough on your mood on a day like Thanksgiving?
 
Think about it – rebonding and breaking the ice with your distant kith. Your mom grumbling at the tiniest of slip-ups. Chaos and mismanagement all around. Turkey day is less leisurely (at least for the host) and undeniably hectic. Can you not wrap your head around without sipping some delicious cocktails? Cherry on the cake – prepping for the cocktails is way less tedious than putting together a fine turkey dish.
 
Not sure which tasty cocktails to think up and glass out? Here’s listing some easy-to-whip cocktails that are damn flavorful.
 
1. Cranberry Gin Fizz – Do you find the vibrant and juicy cranberries very palatable? If yes, then the fizzy cocktail is winsome.
 
So, how do you prep it?
 

  • Pop two tablespoons of freshly plucked cranberries in a shaker with a dash of lime juice
  • Muddle the berries well enough
  • Trickle 1-2 oz. Gin
  • Add I oz of the sweet red syrup. Preferably, rosemary seasoned cranberry syrup
  • Put ice and joggle the shaker very well.
     
    Strain the drink in your favorite serving glasses and top it with a dash of ginger beer. Do you have a rosemary strand handy? The herb works wonders in adding to the aesthetics, flavor, and aroma of the cocktail.
     
    2. Hot Toddy – Could you go wrong with serving Hot Toddy on a chilly Thanksgiving night? Nope! Add slices of scorched orange. Little did you know that the holiday concoction will be a big hit in your fam and friend circles.
     
    How to make the Hot Toddy sing?
     
    This scrumptious cocktail involves a tad bit of cooking.
     
  • Place a saucepan on the stovetop and whisk together 1 and a 1/2 oz bourbon along with some lemon juice and organic honey
  • Incorporating a few spices is a pressing need when making Hot Toddy. Pop in star anise and cinnamon. Do not miss adding the thyme
  • Add some water
  • Stay clear from boiling the concoction. Just warming it is enough
  • Cut the juicy oranges in halves and char them on open flames. The toasty slices of orange rams more flavor into the delicious cocktail.
     
    An appetizing cocktail is ready to be strained and ladled out.
     
    3. Grapefruit Mimosa – Hop on the bandwagon and give mimosas a shot. You could switch up the classic orange mimosa for a grapefruit one. Certainly unique and a very palatable cocktail. Of course, what’s not to adore in fine-quality champagne?
     
    Thinking preparing the grapefruit mimosa is a hard nut to crack? Not at all. Learn how:
     
  • Grab rosemary syrup, if handy. If not, whip up syrup on your own. All ingredients you need are rosemary, water, and sugar
  • Squeeze out fresh grapefruit juice for a matchless and fresh flavor
  • Keep your champagne chilled and ready. Dry champagne is the right booze for the cocktail
  • Fill your glass with champagne, a tad under being half-full
  • Drop in the grapefruit juice. 1/4 the cup is precisely ideal
  • Add two tablespoons of the rosemary syrup
  • Finish it with a dash of champagne or juice, whichever floats your boat.
