This is my Thanksgiving cocktail (or should I say one of many I would be indulging that day). Very simple indeed, one less complicated thing to have that day!
If you love Tequila Sunrise, you're going to enjoy this one too!. It's a use what you have handy kind of drink, so no special trip to the store to prepare this one, unless you want to escape the madness for a few.
I know you are seeing 4 little shot glasses instead of the 3 listed here, keep reading, I can explain!

I hope you enjoy this little cocktail ad that you get to enjoy a few, I promise...after the 3rd one you won't even care about your cousin implying your turkey is dry. Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love! (and on Thanksgiving, a drink in hand).
Besitos,

Wild Turkey Cocktail
Ingredients:
3 oz Sunny Delight
2 oz Pineapple Rum (or any other clear rum)
1 oz Grenadine
1 oz whiskey (optional)
1 oz whiskey (optional)
Ice Cubes
Directions:
Using a highball glass, add some ice cubes.In a separate mixing glass, pour the Sunny D and mix it with rum. Add to the Highball glass and slowly pour the Grenadine on the edge of the glass.This is what will give the drink the pretty effect. Now...I said I had some explaining to do..If Aunt Ursula is really getting on your nerves, add 1 oz of whiskey (hence the Wild Turkey name of this cocktail) before you add the Grenadine, it will give it an additional layer of color and a new taste note! . Drink up and enjoy!

This looks fantastic Lizy (not just for Thanksgiving but for any time relatives gather and you need a little pick me up!)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think I like your totally honest description about the reality of Thanksgiving even better than the recipe! So much fun to read something that isn't sappy this time of year! Yes, I adore having my house full of six happy grandkids and the parents who tag along, but in fact, I actually have to brace myself every time they approach something made of anything but cast iron! And my poor cats! The second they hear the distant patter of little feet they run and hide - and I mean HIDE! Hours after the last guest has departed they start to emerge again - starting with the bravest ones first! Ahh Thanksgiving! Changed my mind here - I'll have one of those Wild Turkeys after all - make it a triple, my dear! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I pinned it to my Thanksgiving Ideas and Recipes board!
