I remember the first holiday in which I tried spiked hot apple cider. I had no idea how good it would be. If you have yet to try spiked cider, once you do, you won't believe what you've been missing.

And of course, we can't leave out the blood mary drink recipe with Bakon Vodka, so here are a couple of those for you as well, also from their web site.
Bakon Mary
1-1/2 ounce Bakon Vodka in a pint glass filled with ice.

How to Stock Your Bar for Thanksgiving
As the holiday approaches, many of us can't help to stop and ask, "how should I stock my bar for Thanksgiving Day?"
In general, to stock your bar for Thanksgiving, combine a variety without being too specific. An inexpensive sparkling sweet white wine and a semi-dry red wine will usually suit most anyone who has a taste for wine with dinner. It is also a good idea to have a bourbon and a vodka on hand.
Along with these choices, both a full flavored and a light beer in a cooler, will usually satisfy most who enjoy a good brew with dinner. Add couple of soda and juice varieties, to complete your bar for the holiday.
Perhaps a different size and color of cup for the kiddies should be in order.
Consider fixing an after dinner treat that will go well with desert, such as Spiked Apple Cider.
Spiked Apple Cider is quite easy to make. Simply add 1-1/2 ounces of whiskey or bourbon to 8 ounces of apple cider, then heat in the microwave. Multiply by the number of servings and heat in a cooker on the stove in order to serve a large group.
Don't forget the ice, and remember to always drink responsibly!
