Thanksgiving Day is Fast Approaching!

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Lazyjack Press

Thanksgiving is a few days away! Time for family, friends and tons of food! Since we’ll all be spending the day eating (and drinking) our faces off, I decided a few cocktails on the lighter side might be in order.

These cocktails all have one thing in common: Saint Germain. If you don’t own it, get it. It’s a light lychee/pear liqueur that goes well with so many wines, liquors, and champagnes. It’s super light and will be refreshing with all of the heavy holiday food.

I opted for simple recipes this time so you’re free to wrangle the turkey, extinguish the flames in the oven, and maybe even impress the in-laws. Hey, it may help you stay sane too.

So, happy Thanksgiving – let’s make it a great one this year!!

Top it all off with a splash of Saint Germain - a little goes a long way!
