The Surprise Guest – A Thanksgiving Drink

I know what you’re thinking.  A Thanksgiving drink must equal cider.  Where’s the cider?  Well, I have a confession.  I don’t like cider.  It feels too heavy to me and heavy is the last thing I want a drink to be feeling on Thanksgiving Day.  After eating copious amounts of stuffing, turkey, yams, and whatever else happens to be passed my way, I want, no I need, something refreshing to cleanse my palate with before dessert comes out.  That’s where The Surprise Guest comes in.

We are all familiar with this cocktail’s human namesake.  He is the person that just shows up on your doorstep unannounced right around 3:00 PM.  While you didn’t invite him and aren’t prepared to make another spot at your table for him, you welcome him in because it’s Thanksgiving and that’s just what you do.  Low and behold, he ends up being the highlight of the evening and you can’t ever imagine celebrating a Thanksgiving without him.  The Surprise Guest is the Thanksgiving drink equivalent of that lovable rascal.
