Hey, Reader!

Thanksgiving is full of notoriously heavy foods. Turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes... I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it!

Instead of giving guests something else that could weigh them down, complement the meal or create a pre-dinner palate cleanser with one of these drinks. Fresh herbs and citrus provide a light, bright sipper that's still packed with fall flavor.

thyme to shine

This cocktail highlights the great flavors of thyme simple syrup, fresh lemon and white whiskey! Combined with an egg white to make a whiskey sour, this is a great cocktail for fall that you can enjoy it all year long.

rosemary grapefruit gin fizz

A rosemary grapefruit gin fizz is a delightful sipper for the winter season. It’s bright, refreshing and floral to bring a little sunshine to your cocktail hour even on those dark and cold nights.

orange ginger gin cocktail

This cocktail is refreshing, slightly sweet and the perfect choice when you’re looking for something fun and fruity to sip. Cranberry, orange and ginger team up with some herbaceous gin to create your new favorite happy hour drink.

citrus ginger beer mocktail

Fresh, fizzy and a little fiery, this mocktail hits all the right notes. Bright citrus and spicy ginger stay perfectly balanced, while the fresh herb garnish adds an aromatic lift that pulls every flavor together. It's easy to mix and easier to love — you'll definitely want this one on repeat.

I think you're going to love these. Cheers!
