If you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner next week, you’ve likely already planned out the food options for the day, and while food is obviously an important part of the dinner, don’t forget about the drinks! Today, Adeniz Villar of Story Place Media is here to share a recipe for a delicious signature drink that is sure to please anyone (21 and older, that is) at your feast next week. Cheers!
I’m really excited to share a cocktail recipe that I’ve recently been shaking up at home for my friends. If you like bubbly rosé, then you’re going to LOVE this cocktail. It’s great to serve as a brunch drink or when entertaining friends and family for dinner. I’m thinking with these cooler temperatures, it’s perfect for a cozy night by the fire. And, of course, the upcoming holidays offer a great opportunity to show off your cocktail-mixing skills with this signature drink. Enjoy!
