I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving with their loved ones! I know I sure did and I think I’m finally out of my food coma 🙂 . Every year we host Thanksgiving at my house and we tend to over do it a bit…this year we may have gone a little overboard with the desserts and if someone is to blame it would be me.
The good thing is we had over 20 people at my family’s house so everyone was able to pack lots of food with them. This year I finally took charge of the desserts and impressed everyone with my baking skills. I made 3 desserts this year and everything came out amazing! I will be sharing some of those recipes in the upcoming weeks! Anyway, if you all did anything fun or different this year let me know below.
P.S. I’m still not sure how we pulled this one off, but we got everyone to do the mannequin challenge. (I will say this is one of the longest mannequin challenges ever, but we did have to get through a lot of people, click the link to watch).
Now on to this amazing drink I’ve been talking about:
I wanted to share with you all one of our cocktails we had at Thanksgiving. My sister had this amazing recipe for a Moscow Mule and we made it our IT drink this Thanksgiving! This is a drink you can make for all of your upcoming holiday gatherings because it’s super simple and only calls for 6 main ingredients (7 if you want to get fancy). You have to get the Moscow Mule mugs, so you can stunt at the holiday table 🙂
Until next time!
