Thanksgiving Drinks for the Whole Family

From classics to mocktails, you'll find 4 different recipes to serve up your Thanksgiving festivities!

TOSSWARE took inspiration from fall classics like cranberry sauce, caramel apples, and pumpkin pie for this month's cocktail recipes. With the holidays approaching, tasty drinks aren't just for the adults. A seasonal punch, mocktail, or cocktail is the perfect addition for everyone at the table.  We've created pie-inspired and alcohol-free punch for kids in two different ways. One is a more savory pumpkin pie punch and the second is a sweet caramel apple punch. For the adults, we shook up a couple variations of cranberry cocktails- a cranberry old-fashioned for the whiskey drinkers and a crowd-pleasing cranberry mule for the rest of your guests. 


This punch tastes so much like a real apple pie, you'll want it a la mode. We recommend serving it in the TOSSWARE 6oz Flute Jr., a perfect size for little hands. The plastic cup looks elegant but is completely shatterproof- ideal for the kid's table!

There's definitely a pumpkin spice mania this fall but for good reason- pumpkin spice is delicious! Almost everyone enjoys the combination of savory pumpkin and sweet spices. This punch is more savory than the apple pie punch as it uses real pumpkin. We used a can of pureed pumpkin, but home roasted and blended pumpkin works just as well.

An old-fashioned is a simple whiskey cocktail is made with bitters, a sugar cube, and orange peel oils. For our fall old-fashioned, we replaced the bitters with a cinnamon stick and the sugar in cranberry juice. Adding a squeeze of orange juice from an orange wedge adds just the right amount of sweetness. This cocktail is best served in a rocks glass or TOSSWARE's 12oz Tumbler Jr cup.

The cranberry mule adds a new dimension to the classic Moscow Mule. A Moscow Mule typically uses ginger beer, rum, and simple syrup. Typically garnished with mint, the Moscow Mule is a refreshing summer drink. Adding tangy cranberry juice takes it into autumn.
