Halloween is over and I am trying to enjoy preparing for Thanksgiving before Christmas takes over the stores. Just kidding, it already has. While I turn a blind eye to the store displays, I am immersing myself in DIY Thanksgiving projects. Next up is planning the dinner and drink menus.

I love using cranberries in cocktails because they create such a beautiful red color. Festive cocktails will liven any holiday party. I can also see having a Thanksgiving “after party” and using all the leftover cranberries in delicious cocktails. However you celebrate, these cranberry cocktail recipes will surly be crowd pleasers.

By the way, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to stock up on cranberries before they disappear from the store shelves. They will be gone before you know it! Cranberry season usually doesn’t go past November. I like to buy multiple bags and freeze cranberries for Christmas.
