From the Poinsettia Cocktail to Apple Sangria, these five sips will kick off and complement the flavors of the feast. Warm notes of cinnamon and nutmeg mingle with autumnal fruits for lovely libations that pair perfectly with the meal. Cheers to the Thanksgiving spirit!
1- Poinsettia Cocktail
This Poinsettia cocktail is a festive delight. Champagne, cranberry juice and our Berry Blast Tea come together to create a sip with sparkles and seasonal flair. The vibrant red hue from the Berry Blast and the effervescence from the bubbly make it beautiful and refreshing – perfect for holiday celebrations from Thanksgiving through Christmas.
2- Apple Sangria
We adapted this libation from Food and Wine, subbing out the schnapps for more ginger, cloves and apple. We dredge the glass rims in Cinna Nilla Sugar so that each sip delivers the full essence of Autumn. This Sangria is perfect for fall days that don’t feel so fall-ish yet. Cool, refreshing while still capturing the flavors of fall.
3- Pumpkin Spice Rum Cocktail
Our Pumpkin Spice Herbal Tea with its Rooibos base makes for the perfect backdrop for a little spiced rum and Vanilla Simple Syrup. We feature a custom after-dinner sip at all of our Supper Strolls. (Keep an eye on our Cooking Class Calendar for future Supper Strolls.) We’ve got the best neighbors: Jed’s Local PoBoys and Reginelli’s Pizzeria. And we couldn’t be happier to team up with them to offer Spring, Summer and Fall Strolls – fun progressive dinners that have you moving and dining with the best that Mid City South has to offer. You can also get to know us at the twice-per-year Mid City Baton Rouge Art Hops: White Light Night and Hot Art Cool Nights.
4- Appletini
We love the combination of apples with warm cardamom. Whether it’s baked into a pie or cooked into a crumble, Apples + Cardamom = Autumn. So why not bring all that Autumnal sexiness to a cocktail? That’s exactly what we did with this classic apple martini. Our Cardamom Simple Syrup shakes right alongside the spirits in this sweet-n-sour sip. Perfect for pre-dinner Thanksgiving toasting. Cheers!
5- Pumpkin Spice Hot Toddy
There’s nothing better than warming up with a classic Hot Toddy. We take the classic and give it an herbal tea update with our Pumpkin Spice Herbal Tea. The warm cinnamon, cardamom and allspice are a welcome addition to the Rye Whiskey and spritz of citrus. This one will cure what ails you!
