Suggestions, Please!
So, I've volunteered to bring wine to my family's Thanksgiving celebration (a bottle of red, a bottle of white, perhaps a bottle of Advil tonight).
Last year, I also brought the makings of Poor Man's Black Velvet (aka Snakebite aka hard cider and Guinness), which was well-received. I was considering bringing the makings for Silver Bullets (gin, kummel, and lemon juice), but I think that cocktail is a little too dry for my family's tastes.
So I ask you, O LiveJournal, do you have any thoughts about an interesting cocktail I could bring with me for Thanksgiving dinner? It doesn't need to be super sweet or super fruity. Interesting is better. As is unusual.
For reference purposes, here are a few drinks that members of my family have expressed a taste for:
White-wine spritzer (don't knock it, on a hot July 4th, it's the nectar of the gods)
Campari and soda
Snakebite
Saint Germain and white wine (which I found cloying)
Thoughts?
