All around the internet other mamas are posting their lavish Thanksgiving menus.

What about mine? Well, if you’ve been reading this for a while, you’ll know that when it comes to me and the kitchen… let’s face it - COOKING, I’M JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU! And I think the feeling is mutual.

I’ve tried, but after years of disappointed guests, burnt dinners, and crushed hopes, I finally accepted that the relationship was toxic and needed to end. So now when it comes to Thanksgiving Dinner, my hubs (who LOVES to cook, bless his heart) insists that I add my support to the feast by staying out of the kitchen altogether.

We’ve developed a little ritual where my “assignment” is to keep people smiling and (for the adults) the libations flowing… the two tend to go hand-in-hand.

As many of you know, my favorite cocktail is hands down the classic Perfect Martini. It’s the most transcendent elixir you’ll ever encounter - a truly religious experience.

But since its Thanksgiving, I thought I’d go with something seasonal and try Apple Martinis. I even went out and bought new martini glasses for the occasion. Take a peek and you’ll understand why I’m in love!

So, in honor of all the Thanksgiving Day recipes being offered, here’s mine…

Apple Martini

With sour apple liqueur

2 oz. Vodka
1½ oz. Bols sour apple liqueur
½ oz. Lemon juice
Apple slice for garnish

Pour ingredients into mixing glass. Add ice and stir to chill. Strain into your Swanky Martini Glass and garnish.

Repeat as needed…
