I love using bourbon in Thanksgiving cocktails because the flavor profile just fits with fall! This Blackberry Bourbon Smash combines the warm notes of the bourbon with the bright flavor of blackberry.

Here's another fall mule to consider, an Apple Cider Moscow Mule. This is a great Thanksgiving cocktail for a crowd because it has a super mellow flavor profile and you can totally make this a non-alcoholic version, too!

You can serve this espresso martini before or after dinner (it works great either way!) It might help counteract the food-coma that comes with a big Thanksgiving feast!
