Thanksgiving isn’t just for Turkeys but great beverages too. Sure you can have a great roasted or even fried turkey and all the fixings but what about the beverages? Share this with family members and even better yet Staff Members. Knowing just what to suggest to your customers is not only a great way to up sell but make bigger tips.
Tia Green from Alliance Beverage says Sam Adams Boston Lager is a great beer choice. The rasted flavors from the Turkey Blend Nicely with the malty sweetness of the Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
Pete Ophardt from Alliance Beverage has a yummy warm beverage suggestion. It may be in the 70’s on Thanksgiving Day here but if you are traveling to a colder climate or just want to get in the holiday spirit this beverage is for you. Tuaca Hot Apple Pie
1 ¾ oz Tuaca Italian liqueur, 1 packet apple cider, hot water, cinnamon stick and nutmeg garnish

Monte Bolinger with Southern has a great tradition of wine: Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau was released, and don’t forget a bottle of my favorite Pinot Noir – Archery Summit out of Oregon.
Julie Dominici with Young’s Market always comes up with the best recipes for beverages and here is another one! Ginger Snap Martini SNAP, a new liqueur based on the 12th Century recipe for the ginger snap, makes a sweet and spicy mulled cider. Add SNAP to Three Olives Cake Vodka, a splash of lemon juice and simple syrup to give it some added sweetness. Yum! Can’t wait to see what Julie comes up with for the HIP event on December 7th at Clayton on the Park.
