We are enthusiasts of bending holiday traditions to make them more practical. We’re over the mulled wine and boozy punches our families have served up for years. This year we introduce the Thanksgiving Margarita. It still encapsulates those fall flavors we all know and love but it’s a new take on a traditional Thanksgiving cocktail. You can also mix up a big batch of the mixture if you’re hosting family or friends this holiday.
