There is no better way to kick off a party than with a themed cocktail!
Seriously, a nice cocktail helps guests to relax, gives people something to do when they first arrive and when it’s themed to the event it just makes the party seem so much more exciting. Since Thanksgiving is the biggest meal of the year it deserves a pretty epic drink to go along with it.
My very favorite? Thanksgiving Sangria!
When Simply Organic asked me if I could create a post to spice the season right to celebrate the launch of their new holiday website my Thanksgiving Sangria was the first thing to come to mind. I love it because it’s a drink that can be served hot or cold. I like to put mine in a slow cooker and allow guests to enjoy it as a mulled wine but it’s just as delicious room temperature or crisp and cold out of the fridge. The key is to use fresh in-season produce and the best quality spices since they’re the heart of a great sangria.
Next add wine and apple cider
Allow your Thanksgiving Sangria to simmer on low for at least an hour, then you’re ready to enjoy!
It can be served in wine glasses or mugs, and I encourage you to have some extra cinnamon sticks on the side that guests can add to their glass as a garnish!
