Sharing The 14 Most Popular Thanksgiving Drinks today to help you find the perfect drink for your holiday gathering this year. This list has everything from pitcher style drinks like my Thanksgiving sangria, to festive cranberry spritzers, to warming Chai White Russians, and just about everything in between. If youโre looking for the perfect cocktail to serve, youโll surely be able to find it here.

Happy Halloween!! I canโt believe itโs Halloween!
Itโs officially the weirdest Halloween weโve all ever had, but Iโm really hoping everyone is finding a few fun ways to celebrate. I know trick or treating is canceled for most of us, but Iโm hoping these Thanksgiving drinks are able to brighten things up. At least theyโll provide us with some excitement for whatโs to come! Thanksgiving just isnโt complete without a good cocktail in hand.
Since Thanksgiving is only a few short weeks away, I thought I would take some time today to share some of my favorite cocktails from previous years. As crazy as this is, Iโve now been sharing holiday drinks since November of 2016. Thatโs four years of Thanksgiving and Christmas drinks every Saturday in November and December. This means that Iโve built up a pretty good list of holiday drinks.
And you guys?
Itโs a VERY good list. You all know I LOVE these cocktail posts, so these are truly some of my favorite recipes. I love making these drinks for you guys and for my family. Something about the holidays makes drinks even more fun. I love entertaining my family while mixing up cocktails in the kitchen. Being behind the kitchen counter is my โsafety blanketโ, it keeps me moving and talking away. Plus, I just have a lot of fun making them! I know we all have smaller crowds this Thanksgiving, but youโll still be in need of a good cocktail no matter the size of your gathering!
I hope you enjoy this round-up of oldies, but goodies. Some of my favoriteย HBH Thanksgiving cocktails are listed here. And with that, let me know YOUR personal favorites.
Lastly, let me know what you might like to see coming up for November. I have so many cocktails planned, but I love hearing your ideas! Already so excited!!
Have a great Halloween! See you tomorrow for another Sunday Favorites!
The 14 Most Popular Thanksgiving Drinks

The most delicious autumn twist on the classic Moscow Mule. Itโs both spicy and warming, perfect for all the cozy November nights ahead!

Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita
A quick and easy, but oh so warming fall margarita. Smoky mezcal (or tequila) mixed with a splash of orange liquor, spiced apple cider, a touch of citrusy lime, and sweet maple.

Homemade cranberry-orange syrup, warming bourbon, fresh citrus, and sweet candied rosemary. This drink is so easy to create. Simply mix everything together for a merry cocktail thatโs perfectly sweetened, and so delicious!

If there was ever a fall cocktail to love, this has got to be it. Itโs full of all things warm and cozyโฆhello to homemade apple butter, cider, lemon, orange bitters, bourbon, and ginger beer for topping.

Vodka mixed with fresh lime juice, a squeeze of grapefruit juice, pomegranate juice, spicy jalapeรฑos, and topped off with ginger beer. Itโs both festive and warming, perfect for holiday parties and cold nights.

This old fashioned makes for the most perfect cozy fall and winter cocktail that everyone will love. Make the syrup ahead of time and keep in the fridge to mix up a quick drink at a momentโs notice.

Not only is this drink extra festive and pretty, but itโs sweet, hinted lightly with flavors of thyme, spiked with a little vodka, and made with my very favorite, elderflower liquor. Basically the perfect holiday drink.

Spiced Cranberry Rosรฉ Spritzers.
Homemade spiced cranberry jam, woodsy rosemary, fruity rosรฉ, sweet elderflower liquor, fresh citrus, and spicy ginger beer. The festive red color doubles as a gorgeous decor piece on any table!

White wine mixed with cider, brandy, pumpkin butter, citrus, spices, and a splash of ginger beer. Itโs a touch sweet, refreshing, so easy to make, and perfect for both Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving gatherings!

Vanilla Chai Tea White Russian
This warming + cozy drink is best for after-dinner Turkey Day nightcaps. Iโm already excited to hang out after dinner and share it with the fam!

This is styled on the โspookyโ side, but itโs just as fun for Thanksgiving as it is for Halloween. Itโs sweet, spiced, and so warming. Therefore itโs the perfect cocktail to cozy up to this November.

A true oldie, but also everyoneโs favorite. Fizzy, minty, gingery, full of sweet pomegranate, and um tequila too! The simple syrup makes enough for at least four drinks, but can easily be doubled, or tripled, for a large batch. Great for Thanksgivingโฆand Christmas.

Naughty and Nice Cinnamon Toddy
Best for trimming the tree over Thanksgiving weekend or when snuggling by the fire.

Spiced Persimmon Bourbon Old Fashioned
Spiced maple persimmon puree, bourbon, sweet clementine juice, and a couple of dashes ofย bitters. If youโd like to make this as a pitcher style drink for Thanksgiving, just quadruple the amounts for the old fashioned.

Extra Special Bonus: Creamy Coconut Hot Chocolateย
If youโre looking for something to kick off Thanksgiving morning or end the night with, try this hot chocolate. Itโs Asher and Iโs favorite sweet treat to snuggle up to by the fire. Itโs complete with snowman marshmallows, becauseโฆโtis soon will be the season! This cocoa is creamy, rich, perfectly sweet, and best enjoyed with a large helping of homemade whipped cream. Perfect for sipping chatting with family and friends.

Do you have any favorite mocktails? A large portion of my family doesnโt drink and would love to have a mix!
Hey Taylor,
Honestly most of my cocktails can easily be made into a mocktail by omitting the alcohol and adding some sparkling water or ginger beer. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Other than the Hot Chocolateโฆdo you have more festive drinks without alcoholโฆor how would the ones you have shared be made without the alcohol? They are all so pretty and sound so delicious.
Thank You!
