Thanksgiving Cocktails

Most people don’t think of cocktails when they hear the word Thanksgiving. There’s too much else to prepare – the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pies to name a few. However, there should be a reward for all of that hard work. Here are two unique cocktail recipes to change up the traditional Thanksgiving dinner menu. And if your pecan pie isn’t a success, these can double as dessert.
