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

With three weeks until Thanksgiving, many people have begun planning their menus: appetizers, dinner, and dessert. Not to be forgotten are the beverages that you serve. While you can't go wrong with a bottle of Chenin Blanc or Shiraz, a little mixing, shaking, and blending can infuse a little more fun into your holiday.
We solicited recipes for Thanksgiving-inspired cocktails. Our editors have chosen their ten favorite and now are seeking our readers' thoughts. Which cocktail is the most tantalizing for Turkey Day? Read their descriptions, then cast your vote.

Spiked Mulled Cider

Last Saturday was filled with events for our family. Our morning was spent watching our oldest run in a regional cross-country meet. Although the sun was shining, it was a chilly morning to be standing outside. In the afternoon, our family went apple picking at a local orchard. By mid-afternoon, it had warmed considerably, making this outdoor adventure more enjoyable for those prone to cold fingers and toes.
As the night would be cold, we purchased apple cider to turn into a warm evening drink. I never had made mulled cider previously, but it seemed like a simple recipe to master.

Today marks the twentieth day of winter in the northern hemisphere. However, in New Hampshire it seems like we already have had a winter's worth of snow and ice. Between this chilly precipitation, cold temperatures, and biting winds, winter has made its presence known.
To cope with winter, I sometimes try to pretend that it isn't cold and wintry by preparing tropical dishes and drinks. However, there are times when just knowing how cold it is outside gives me the goosebumps. And on a night such as that, a cold drink is not going to work.

Hot Drinks for All

Cold, dreary fall weather has arrived in New England. Sandals and sundresses have been packed away and replaced with turtlenecks and sweaters. Even if a weekend day is filled with activities, you might have a chill when you return home.
Or at least I do. I adore the colors of fall. I enjoy the crisp smell of the air. I love to hear the calls of the geese heading south. However, once fall has arrived, it seems that the tips of my fingers and toes will not thaw until the spring.
So, even after a Saturday afternoon filled with shopping and dinner
