Family Thanksgiving Drinks

One unique thing about Thanksgiving is how it brings the entire family together. When it comes to meals, the turkey is going to be shared by all. When it comes to Thanksgiving drinks, it is necessary to take care of different kinds of drinks for various people; there might be cocktails for the grown-ups, fruit juices for younger ones and perhaps hot beverages after the main meal.

Sometimes though, it'll be required to lay out drinks that everybody can appreciate, such as when guests start to arrive and to keep them going after the meal. Laying out family drinks will ensure your guests have something to keep them going whilst you might be finishing with preparations and serving.

Harvest Cider

A piping helping of cider will be heart warming on a chilly autumn day and will cheer up Thanksgiving. Just mix up a gallon of apple juice, apple cider, eight sticks of cinnamon and 3 cups of sugar. Bring the mixture to boil and then remove from heat and enable to cool. It'll get the house smelling nice and festive too. Serve when cool. It can be adapted for adults by adding 750ml of grain alcohol or one or two tots per cup.

Thanksgiving Punch

This one will add quite a punch to the festivities. Combine six ounces of lemon juice, a can of frozen lemonade made up from concentrate, a can of orange juice also from concentrate and then stir in 3 liters of a carbonated lime or lemon drink. Top the punch off with thin slices of orange floating on top. Adults can add in a tot or two of their favored whiskey. Other Thanksgiving favorites that the whole family will enjoy are Cinderella, Hot Spiced Cider, Sparkling Cranberry Punch, Hot Not Toddy Pilgrim's Punch, and Root Beer Float.
