Here's a couple delicious recipes for Thanksgiving day.  These are favorites that I've been serving for a few years.

 

Pumpkin Pie Martini. 

2 parts pumpkin spice vodka (there are several brands, any will do)

1 part Baily's Irish Cream. 

Splash of light cream or half and half

Whipped cream

Ground nutmeg

Ice

Shake vodka, Baily's and light cream mixture  in ice filled shaker, pour into chilled martini glass, top with whipped cream, sprinkle with nutmeg, drink, repeat until unable to repeat.

 

After Dinner Espresso.

2 jiggers Van Gough Espresso or Double Espresso Vodka

Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino

Whipped cream

Chocolate covered Pocky sticks.

Ground cinnamon

Pour 2 jiggers vodka into a coffee cup (use the nice ones with a saucer if possible), pour Frappuccino leaving enough room for whipped cream, top with whipped cream, sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon, garnish (optional) with Pocky stick or any similar confection such as chocolate coated pretzel sticks.  This goes extremely well with dessert.

 

I'll have a beer washed down with a little of this stuff neat. I usually hate rye but received this as a gift, very very flavorful and probably not for the purist

Thanks, Scorpio. Mrs Tex will really like the pumpkin pie martini. I think I’ll make them for her tonight!

The martini has @Mrs. Peel written all over it

Hochstadter's R & R, ah, a sugar coma looking for a place to happen, fond memories.

The martini sounds much too sweet for my tastes... I'm more of a dirty martini fan, myself.

But, I do like a sweet after-dinner drink (it's like dessert in a glass!) and that espresso sounds divine! I'll make that up.... for myself anyway! 

FIL used to always put a shot of Romana Sambuca into his espresso after dinner.  What don't kill ya makes you stronger.

Yes, but I noticed your use of the past tense...

My dad likes Ouzo in his coffee. Damn, that stuff is rough.

Sorry to say he passed three years ago, we'll all go sometime. Miss him. Rare form COPD from tobacco got him. 

Technically, today is blackout Wednesday.. new term I learned..

Learned this from my parents, still do it to this day. 

Mine will start with a Mad Elf then a Super Hop with dinner followed up with a Backwoods Bastard for dessert.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

That would be Benedictine  Not B&B but Benedictine.  Always support the church

For me it will be a classic rye Old Fashion.

ugh hope not to mix too many different kinds of alcohol lol

 

My usual mixed drink is Jamison's Black Barrel with an ice cube or two (that's the mix part)

I do have to make my wife's drink of choice:

• 1 shot of Jamison's (I just use the regular Jamison's for this)
• 6 oz of Ginger Ale (whatever kind you like, I like Canada Dry because it's not too sweet)
• Juice from half a lime
• Add a lime slice for garnish (or for additional lime juice if the person wants to drop it in)

I had a tall glass of Patron.

 

Tequila goes with everything!
