Happy Thanksgiving week!
If you’re hosting, have you gone grocery shopping yet? One of my birthday gifts to Dan (who turned 27 yesterday!) is that I’m not making him come to the grocery store during Thanksgiving week with me. Out of all the gifts I got him, this one might be his favorite. He hates navigating a busy grocery store! I’m not particularly fond of it either, so I’m hoping that by going mid-morning today, I can avoid much of the rush.
If you aren’t hosting Thanksgiving dinner, consider offering to bring the makings of a festive cocktail on Thursday. You’ll be able to stay out of the cook’s way and not take up any valuable stove or oven space. Plus, a big holiday definitely calls for a fun cocktail! Here are 42 drink ideas that would be great before, during or after Thanksgiving dinner.
