Have yourself a happy thanksgiving

Thanksgiving cocktails to set you in the mood! Thanksgiving isn't a huge holiday in my home mostly cause I'm not a big turkey person but I love the transition of fall to winter. There are so many great flavors that you can work with to celebrate and add a festive kick to your holiday cocktails. I personally love to add berry flavors and sweet but not overpowering touches to my thanksgiving/late fall cocktails. I've included a few of my favorites that are easy to make at home.
