Thanksgiving cocktail recipe

[katieb4tom]

Any recipes for a Thanksgiving themed cocktail that can also be made as a mock tail? Thanks!

I tried making this recipe courtesy of redheadbaker one year, but I accidentally made cranberry sauce instead.

I’d like to try again this year!

ETA - I bet it would be delicious with seltzer instead of whisky.

I had a Cranberry Mule at a restaurant Friday that was so good. It had ice, Deep Eddy Cranberry vodka, ginger beer, lime juice, and lime garnish. The vodka is only a 70 proof, so not harsh. There was just enough ginger beer get a hint of ginger heat.

You could sub cranberry juice or a sweeter cranberry juice blend for the vodka.

Ha! I came in to post this exact recipe!

If you make it a mocktail, and sub seltzer instead of whiskey, what would you put in to give it that cinnamon punch?

I probably would put a cinnamon stick in with the cranberries and simmer it, but considering I managed to botch the recipe the first time I tried, I may not be the best person to offer suggestions. 😂

I just saw this list of mocktail recipes on FB. Maybe it would be easier to start with one of these and add whatever alcohol would go best? There are a few cranberry ones, an apple ginger, a salted caramel, etc. that could work for Thanksgiving.

Just coming for ideas and to share that Smirnoff has some kind of cranberry apple cinnamon vodka out that looks amazing if you don’t mind slumming your vodka (I do not). I saw it in the store a few weeks ago.

I would probably make a simple syrup with red hots! I feel like the cinnamon in liquors is always similar to that flavor profile.

I like the Caramel apple Sangria.

thesweetestoccasion.com/2015/10/caramel-apple-sangria/

I never made it as a mocktail but I bet you could skip the caramel vodka and just use caramel syrup for the flavor

Replace the wine with a sparkling white cider or a maybe sparkling water?

Sparkling wine and cranberry wine together. Called a Poinsettia

I'd do cranberry mimosa poinsettias. I love mimosas and can't do heavy cocktails so these are the most "cocktail" that I get, usually. You can replace the prosecco/champagne with a sparkling water.

I knew if I asked, a smart person would tell me how to enhance my life! 😘

We warm up apple cider in a crockpot and have bourbon and brandy available for those who want it.

We had Friendsgiving over the weekend and I made a delicious cranberry bourbon smash cocktail for the adults. I made a batch of cran apple cider for the kids and they loved it.

Make an orange cinnamon simple syrup: (this makes enough for probably 20+ cocktails)
1 c brown sugar
1 c water
2 cinnamon sticks
the peel from 1 large orange (use a vegetable peeler to create strips of zest)
Combine in a medium sauce pan over med-low heat and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar completely dissolves. Let cool then remove the cinnamon sticks and orange peel. Store in a glass jar.

For the kids I did:
2c cranberry juice (100% juice)
2c apple cider
juice from 1 orange
1/4 c of cinnamon simple syrup

Pour over ice and fill glass about 1/2-2/3 full. Top with either plain club soda or a flavored sparkling water (we did blood orange cranberry Polar sparkling water) Garnish with apple slices and/or orange slices and/or sugared cranberries everydayannie.com/2012/12/18/how-to-make-sugared-cranberries/

For the cocktail, replace the apple cider with bourbon.

I never knew it had a name, but that's what I make.

If the cranberry syrup comes out too thick, you can thin it with more water.

I don’t think this one would be awesome without the alcohol but we made this last year and it was great!

Cinnamon simple syrup! 

So, two flavors of simple syrup then? Wouldn’t that be incredibly sweet?

Add a cinnamon stick to the cranberry mixture when making the cranberry syrup. If you wanted to use both syrups for both cocktails and mocktails, use regular whiskey instead of cinnamon whiskey.
