Special Cocktails That Cater to All Guests

Some of the guests at your Thanksgiving meal may require the availability of special cocktails in order to follow their dietary restrictions. As host of the meal it is important to ensure that all guests have a cocktail that they enjoy on the holiday.

Healthy Cocktails

Some of your guests may be on specific dietary restrictions that will prohibit them from consuming high sugar, carb loaded cocktail beverages. For these guests, the following cocktails are wonderful substitutions:

  • Diet Soda and Vodka/Gin- This go to drink is a favorite among low-carb dieters and is sure to please those who are calorie-conscious.
  • Skinny Mojitos- This traditional drink can easily be made into a low-calorie cocktail with the substitution of club soda.  
  • Flavored Seltzer Water and Vodka/Gin- A remarkably simple, yet refreshingly delicious, carbonated beverage.

Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

It is important to remember that not all guests consume alcohol. As a good host you must ensure that you provide non-alcoholic cocktails to cater to these guests. For all of the forementioned beverages, you can simply omit the alcohol, to create a ‘virgin’ version of the cocktail. Remember a good host makes certain that everyone enjoys a delectable cocktail, whether alcoholic, or non-alcoholic.
