My sister Lyndsey used to be a bartender. I asked her to come up with a few fun Thanksgiving drinks, she also gave them fun drunken theme names because that is how we do it around these parts. Believe me when I say that the testing has been fun. Drunk in mid-afternoon? A little bit.
The first is called Cranberry Sauced and I could see after two of these, hanging out with your mother in law might be a little less painful… of course, I mean your mother in law and not my mother in law. Hi, Sue!
You will need:
- 2 oz cranberry vodka
- 1 teaspoon green apple vodka
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- ice
- orange or clementine slices
Add cranberry vodka, green apple vodka, cranberry juice and Ice to a cocktail shaker {a cup with a lid would work as a substitute here} and shake until ice cold. Go around the outside of a martini glass rim with an orange wedge, then rest it on the outside of the glass. {If you like yours super sweet, you can also dip into sugar at this point.} Strain ice and pour into glass. Serve immediately.

this name is so smart and i need anything to make time with the inlaws less painful.
I'll take two and call it a night!
I hope my in-laws don't read your blog. Do you think anyone would notice if I took a thermos full of this to Thanksgiving?
your MOTHER came up with the DRUNKEN names...Lyndsey was TOO tired (ahem...ie: I went to the FREAKIN Twightlight midnight movie with my new best friend movie peep - Laura and we got there TWO hours early... Jesus, WHO DOES THAT????? Thank GOD you're not THAT crazy....but close, very close)
love
mom (aka JC, and I don't mean the son of God)
My mother-in-law used to join me in the drinks. Now my sister-in-law... I could use that little red helper! ;-)
