Sharing the 20 Most Popular Thanksgiving Drinks today to help you find the perfect drink for your holiday gathering. This list has everything from pitcher-style drinks, like my Spicy Bourbon Pumpkin Smash punch, to festive Ginger Apple Moscow Mules, to warming Chai Espresso Martinis, and everything in between. If youโre looking for the perfect cocktail or mocktail to serve this holiday season, youโll surely be able to find it here.
I always look forward to this post at the beginning of every holiday season. To me, this is the official start of the holiday craze. Halloween is Monday and Thanksgiving time is upon us. If youโre hosting this year, youโve most likely started to plan. If youโre lucky enough to be a guest, youโre probably brainstorming what side dish or dessert to bring. Or maybe youโre plotting the perfect hostess gift.
The excitement is in the air! This is certainly my favorite time! While Iโm looking forward to Christmas, Thanksgiving is not to be overlooked!
Thanksgiving drinks are indeed some of my favorites. They feel so special and elegant. I really have fun creating a simple twist on many of the old classics we love.
Over the past handful of years, Iโve shared out countless drink recipes, and so many wonderful ones for Thanksgiving. This yearโs drinks are different than all the years past because Iโve decided to also include how to turn each recipe into a non-alcoholic drink as well. This has been a huge hit, which makes me so happy! I know many of you are opting out of hard liquor, so I want to be sure everyone can enjoy these fun holiday drinks!
I hope you all enjoy this round-up of past drink recipes. Some of my favorite Thanksgiving cocktails are listed below. Last yearโs highlights for me personally were theย Spiced Maple Bourbon Fizz and the Chai Espresso Martini. I really LOVE them both, but especially the martini.
Additionally, please let me know what drinks you guys would love to see this month. If there are any requests, please share them below!
Have a great Halloween! See you tomorrow for another Sunday Favorites!

Please do a cocktail book!!!!
Thanks for this suggestion, Julia!!
Located in Australia & itโs very hard to find most Thanksgiving ingredients โ can you leave out the apple butter?
Hi Rebecca,
For which recipe are you wanting to leave the apple butter out of? Let me know how I can help! xT
I just tried this tonight andโฆ YUMMM! I totally forgot to add the coconut milk though, but they were still amazing.
I love the syrup by itself as well and plan on making it as a spread to go with cheese and crackers.
Hey Stephanie,
Happy Thanksgiving!!๐ฆ๐ I am so glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks so much for making it! xT
Thanks for sharing. I look forward to trying them out.
Happy to share Pamela!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful and creative recipes! Iโm looking forward to trying many over the holiday season!
Thanks so much Michele!! Happy Thanksgiving!! xx
Must ALL the drinks have hard liquor in them? I have 14, 13, and 11 year old grandchildren; I would appreciate recipes which I could serve to them.
Hi Barbara,
If you click on the recipes, youโll see Iโve created cocktail versions as well:) Also, I make these for my sister all the time with just omitting the alcohol and adding some sparkling water. Happy Tuesday! xx
Iโm really enjoying your drink recipes โ I adapt flavors into home made fudge, and am always looking for inspiration! I often find that a basic dessert recipe that features one of the main ingredients (peach, for instance) is given a unique boost when I add an element or two from a cocktail recipe with the same base fruit or flavor.
Thanks for stepping โoutside the boxโ on many of these!
Hey Kelly,
Thanks so much for your kind message and trying so many recipes, we appreciate you following along!! Cheers! xx
Tieghan,
Would love to make a very special drink for Thanksgiving for my children (12, and twins 1o). With everything going on in the world right now, they have stayed positive and been just amazing. Any suggestions for something non alcoholic but more than just a simple punch?
I already have a few dessert recipes from your site to make them!
Thanks for always bringing a smile to my face and belly when I make your recipes!
Kris
