[ 0 ] November 26, 2014 | Johnna

Cocktail mixers make life easier! On Thanksgiving morning, toast the balloons while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with the Classic Bellini or Perfect Bloody Mary. Powell & Mahoney’s Bloody Mary mixers cut out half the work so you can whip up morning beverages for the whole fam quickly. Cheers!

Classic Bellini:

Glassware: Champagne flute. 4 oz. chilled Prosecco and 1 oz. Powell & Mahoney Peach Bellini. Garnish: Slice of white peach.

Perfect Bloody Mary:

Glassware: Pint glass packed. In a shaker: 4 oz. Powell & Mahoney Bloody Mary and 1 ½ oz. vodka. Gently shake and strain over ice. Garnish: Celery stalk, slice of lemon, pickled long beans, olives, salami, grilled shrimp or a slice of crispy bacon.

For the Thanksgiving Dinner, no need to go harvest all the individual ingredients for a delicious and festive cocktail — all you have to do to make Powell & Mahoney’s Pumpkin Smash is combine 1.5 oz. bourbon or rye whiskey, 1.5 oz. Powell & Mahoney Lemon Sour and 1 tsp. canned pumpkin (Libby’s or Dole) in a shaker and strain over ice in an old-fashioned style glass. Then just dust with ground cinnamon and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
