by Michele on November 19th, 2009
Two weeks ago, the editors at Parched No More posted their top ten choices for Thanksgiving cocktails. As hard as it was to narrow the list down to ten drinks, it seemed daunting to choose one favorite. With a variety of drinks from which to choose, including martinis, a margarita, a frappe, a cider drink, an eggnog, and a wine-tail, the options seemed overwhelming.
However, polling has ended, and our readers have spoken. We are pleased to announce that the Pumkinlicious Martini from ECO-BAR was chosen as the favorite drink for Thanksgiving. In order to create this delicious beverage...
