Thanksgiving Tips & A Happy Pilgrim

And last, but not least, a Facebook post for a great cocktail from last year, The Happy Pilgrim; but since linking to a specific post in FB is not obvious, here is the recipe:

Happy Pilgrim
1 shot wild turkey bourbon - must have turkey!
1 shot ginger beer
2 shots cranberry juice
1/3 shot orange bitters
Shake and serve over crushed ice
garnish with a fresh cranberry


Enjoy & Happy Turkey Day!
