Hey, Reader!

When it comes to Thanksgiving, pie tends to take over the dessert table. I get it! I mean, the flaky crust, the tasty filling, the whipped cream topping — yum!

Think of these drinks as pie's holiday sidekick. When they're paired together, you end up with sweet flavors that are the perfect way to close out Turkey Day.

Add one of these drinks to Thursday's menu and satisfy your sweet tooth:

irish coffee

A simple and delicious Irish coffee is easy to make and so flavorful! With just a few simple ingredients, you can have this cocktail ready in about 5 minutes. The classic combination of coffee and Irish whiskey is a cozy drink everyone will love.

pumpkin spice martini

Pumpkin pie meets vodka martini in this easy and delicious cocktail. With all the flavors of favorite fall desserts - like pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and cream - this pumpkin spice martini makes a fantastic drink for a fall happy hour or after Thanksgiving dinner.

bourbon milk punch

This smooth, creamy and quietly strong, this bourbon milk punch is the kind of nightcap that wraps up the evening just right. Bourbon brings warmth and depth, balanced by milk’s gentle sweetness and a touch of vanilla. It’s rich without being heavy — like eggnog’s cooler cousin — and just right for sipping by the fire or winding down after the feast.

peanut butter hot chocolate

This peanut butter hot chocolate is rich and delightful, and the perfect warm fall sip. Peanut butter and chocolate combine for a decadent treat that can warm you up inside and out!

I hope these help end your holiday on a sweet note.

Cheers!

Susannah
