Cocktail of the week: The Drunken Pilgrim
Whether you just got to grandma's house after eight hours stuck in traffic or you're just looking for a new cocktail to offer your guests on Thanksgiving, we've got you covered. It's Yahoo Finance's Cocktail of the Week.
The first Thanksgiving in 1621 probably featured apple cider, but then again they also probably ate deer and eel, so I think we're safe taking some liberties when it comes to a Thanksgiving tipple.
Here at Yahoo Finance we're calling this week's concoction "The Drunken Pilgrim." Here's how to make it:
• In a cocktail shaker full of ice, add one and a half ounces of Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon
• Half an ounce of Laird's Apple Jack brandy (more on that below)
• A just a splash of sweetened lime juice
• Top with four ounces of cranberry juice
• Shake and pour over ice
The addition of Laird's Apple Jack brandy adds an extra touch of Americana to this new Thanksgiving classic. The brand dates back to 1780, when it was created by one of America's oldest families. It's not as old as Thanksgiving itself, but has a pretty rich history nonetheless and adds that little something extra to your holiday cocktail.
All that's left now is the turkey, the stuffing, the mashed potatoes, the green beans, the cranberry relish and a couple of pies!
Enjoy and let us know what you think our latest mix.
