So, for the USians here, what drinks are you serving at Thanksgiving? I always end up with a crowd as we are centrally located and have a big family. I will get a great Cabernet, a sweet white wine for my ex mother out-law who always asks for white wine then says it’s too dry, beer of course, still working on the house cocktail and non alcoholic drinks.

Always start with a spritz of some sort, mimosa or similar.

Tried a really good pineapple drink (it’s in another post) and it’s great but I don’t want to juice pineapple, andthe tepache will be too dry or gone by then.

Still thinking about this. I do have time to make more ginger beer by then. But I’m thinking to make that one of the non-intoxicating drinks.

In previous recent big gatherings I’ve made a pineapple drink, a pear and ginger, a ginger and Chartreuse. I am cooking and not willing to also be a bartender so need a pitcher of something for sure. Not many of my guests like wine, the beer drinkers are all set, they bring more than enough. I can get just about anything in terms of ingredients.

We have vegans so besides turkey the food slants toward mushrooms/potatoes/lentils.

Sorry, this got long, just looking for ideas, will put my trials in this thread and also please ask here if you are also looking for ideas.

    We usually get Jarritos sodas for the kids, they like the lime, the pineapple, grapefruit, and the harder to find guava one. You don’t have sober adults? Or they are all ok with just water?

      Water, coffee and tea as well. The soda drinkers aren’t going to be in attendance.
