Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but not everyone gets to spend it with family. Enter Friendsgiving! It’s like Thanksgiving, but with your favorite people: friends. You can keep the classic dishes like turkey, dressing, and ham, or totally mix it up and create your own menu. But let’s be real—no Friendsgiving is complete without some festive drinks! Because who doesn’t love a good cocktail?
Here are some ready-to-drink options to elevate your holiday celebration. Cheers!
Talkhouse Encore
A fruity mixed drink hates to see me coming! Talkhouse Encore features six gluten-free canned seltzers made with real spirits, fruit juice, and high-quality ingredients, with zero added sugar or artificial flavoring. That means bold, natural flavors and fewer calories, so you can enjoy every sip guilt-free!
Choose from fan favorites like Grapefruit Tequila Soda, Lime Vodka Soda, Hampton Mule, and Iced Tea & Lemonade Vodka Soda. Or, celebrate the season with limited flavors like Blood Orange Tequila Soda and Cranberry Vodka Soda. I had the chance to try these seltzers, and they were seriously impressive! Right from the first sip, the bold kick of tequila or vodka comes through, depending on the flavor you pick, and it’s quickly followed by a refreshing burst of fruity goodness. Talkhouse Encore is a must-have to bring friends together and toast to good times.
Surfside
I’ve sampled Surfside and can attest to its delicious fruity taste. Do you know those drinks that are so refreshingly fruity and perfectly mixed that you barely taste the alcohol? That’s Surfside for you. It's the kind of drink you keep sipping, thinking it's all fun and flavors, until—bam!—it sneaks up on you. The low-calorie and low-sugar options allow guests to sip guilt-free, and the real tea and vodka combinations bring sunshine to your holiday table.
Whether you're hosting a formal dinner or a casual Friendsgiving, these cocktails could pair well with holiday favorites like cheese boards or pumpkin pie. Flavors like Peach Tea + Vodka and Black Cherry Lemonade + Vodka can make your celebration feel festive and relaxed.
