The Cosmopolitan Cocktail, or Cranberry Cosmo

Thanksgiving Cocktail - Cranberry Cosmo

Before a really big meal, I just want to whet my appetite, not spoil it. So, I usually just stick to wine and lighter cocktails.  But if your in-laws are being particularly trying or you’ve had it up to here with TV commercials for Black Friday doorbusters, maybe it’s okay to make that drink a little bit stiffer. If you want a REAL cocktail, enjoy a Thanksgiving-themed Cosmopolitan or Margarita.

The Cosmopolitan Cocktail, or Cranberry Cosmo

The Cosmo is a classic cranberry & vodka cocktail. An older version from the 1930s actually uses gin instead of vodka, so that is definitely an option. Using a citrus-flavored vodka is a very popular version.
