Tips for prepping big batch Thanksgiving cocktails
Simple Syrups. If you are making a simple syrup (I love this Apple Crisp Syrup for Thanksgiving!), you can make them a few days ahead of time!
Prep Your Juices. If you are fresh squeezing any citrus juice, which I always recommend, you can do that a day or two before and store in the fridge in an airtight container.
Bar Prep. A day or two before, set up all your glassware, bowls, napkins, decor, or anything else that your bar may need.
Garnish Bar. Set up a fun garnish bar that includes cinnamon sticks, dried apple slices, orange slices, fresh herbs, and sugared cranberries.
Prep Cocktails. The day before you can easily prep cocktails! The key to prepping big batch Thanksgiving cocktails the day before is to NOT include any sparkling ingredients. For example, this Thanksgiving margarita is perfect to prep the day before. However, this Fall Aperol Spritz can only partially be batched ahead of time. No Bubbles = Batch. Bubbles = Don't Batch.
Thanksgiving cocktail essentials
Drink Pitchers. If you are making a big batch cocktail, you need a pitcher! I love this pumpkin pitcher or this vintage-inspired pitcher.
Accessories. I love these cocktail sticks and napkins to create the perfect Thanksgiving bar.
