As Americans decide they’re once again ready to celebrate, we’ll be seeing lots of action in “Mad Men”-style retro cocktails, high-cachet gin and bourbon, craft beers and punch (including sangria). Look for cocktails with herbal and floral ingredients; “skinny” cocktails; even more adult beverages in fast-casual eateries to set them apart from traditional limited-service competitors.
It’s not like we haven’t been doing our part around here. Every Friday, our Bottom’s Up Cocktail features a “big girl” cocktail, with few or NO carbs and they all taste great. To celebrate Thanksgiving, here’s our festive drink of the week, a few days early so you can serve it at your Thanksgiving celebration.
