Tipsy Bartender Drinks for Thanksgiving 2017


Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm starting this year's version of Tipsy Bartender drinks for Thanksgiving 2016 by being a good environmentalist and recycling one of my comments on Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 42.
The night before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest bar nights of the year along with New Year's Eve and St. Patrick's Day.  To celebrate, I'm offering Thanksgiving Punch from Tipsy Bartender.
THANKSGIVING PUNCH
10 oz. (300ml) Apple Vodka
10 oz. (300ml) Pear Vodka 
10 oz. (300ml) Cinnamon Whiskey
34 oz. (1020ml) Angry Orchard Cider
13 oz. (390ml) Apple Cider
13 oz. (390ml) Apple Juice
Apple Slices
Pear Slices
Cinnamon Sticks

PREPARATION
1. Add fruits to base of punch bowl before pouring over alcohols and mixers.
2. Drop in apple slices, pear slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise and cranberries and stir gently.
3. Enjoy responsibly!
I concluded my comment by noting that "I have lots more Thanksgiving drinks where those came from, especially if one likes apple and pumpkin pies."  That works just as well as a transition here.  Follow over the jump for more of this year's Thanksgiving drinks from Tipsy Bartender.

Skyy changed the format for his videos last year and it helped, at least in terms of his production of videos of holiday drink recipes.  He posted only one recipe each for  Halloween and Thanksgiving last year.  This year, I included only three drinks in Toast the 'Drum Corpse Bride' for a drum corps Halloween and left out about as many that didn't fit the dry ice theme.  The same is true for this year's Thanksgiving, as Skyy has posted ten (!) drink recipes for the holiday.  No way am I posting all of them today.  I'm using only five.  That way I can conserve my resources to hold them in reserve for next year.  Like I said, I'm an environmentalist -- reduce, reuse, recycle.

I resume the recipes with Pumpkin Pie Pudding Shots.

Here's the recipe:
