Planning a Thanksgiving gathering? There's a lot to plan! Here are some of the best wine cocktails for Thanksgiving!

The holiday season often means lots of holiday hosting is going on.

If you are planning a Thanksgiving dinner, you might be looking for some cocktail ideas.

What drinks to serve at Thanksgiving?

You should offer a variety of non-alcoholic beverages in addition to any cocktails or wine that you serve at Thanksgiving.

If you are hosting kids, you might want to check with their parent or guardian to be sure you don't step on any toes, offering them juice or milk if that's not preferred.

Non-alcoholic drinks for Thanksgiving

  • Spa water
  • Cranberry ginger beer mocktail
  • Caramel Apple Punch
  • Christmas punch
  • White chocolate pumpkin nog

What alcohol goes with Thanksgiving?

The most common cocktails to serve on Thanksgiving will be made with white wine, red wine, or sparkling wine.

If you want more of a liquor cocktail, consider the mixer instead. Cranberry, pomegranate, cinnamon, apple cider, pumpkin spice, and blackberry are all classic fall flavored Thanksgiving bases. Add the liquor of choice from there.
