Cocktail of the Week: The Turkey Trot

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

This weeks featured cocktail is the “Turkey Trot”. It’s officially November which means Thanksgiving is right around the corner. In fact to celebrate my second favorite holiday,I will continue to feature Thanksgiving themed cocktails throughout the month. Before you know it we will all be surrounded by family and friends loosening our belts and watching the cowboys/lions play football. If you’re looking to spice things up at this years family gathering make sure to give this one a try. This is my own take on a great holiday cocktail but feel free to play around with the ingredients and brands as you see fit.

Turkey Trot

1 1/2 oz Makers Mark Bourbon
2 oz Sprite
2 oz Ocean Spray cranberry juice

Add ingredients one by one into a highball glass filled with ice starting with the bourbon, followed by the cranberry and finishing with the sprite. Stir and drink. For some added fun try swapping out the cranberry with cran-apple juice for another spin on the fall flavored cocktail.
