We know that Thanksgiving is going to look a little different this year. However, that doesn't mean that you can't still celebrate with some delicious drinks and dinner recipes.
While you may just be entertaining one or two people this year, you can still spice (or spike) up your celebration at home.
Here is a list of our favorite boozy food recipes to keep you satisfied all night long!
Appetizer:
Whiskey Meatballs
1 bag Frozen Meatballs (26 oz)
0.5 C Ketchup
0.5 C BSB - Brown Sugar Bourbon
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except your meatballs. Whisk with a bar whip. Place your frozen meatballs into your crockpot and pour the whiskey sauce on top. Give a good mix to assure each meatball is coated with the whiskey sauce.
Turn up the heat to high and leave it on high for about an hour, stirring a couple of times in between.
Main Thanksgiving Style Dish:
Seasoned Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
2 tbsp of D's Seasoned Vodka
