Don't spend cocktail hour stressing about individualized drinks.
Now, if you’re making this ahead of time, you can stash that mixture in the fridge for later. If you’re making it live andadd two cups of ice and stir until it’s pretty much melted. Or stand there and let it melt while you slice half an apple into pretty thin slices. And three orange peels. Toss those in, and stir while you contemplate the meaning of Thanksgiving. Do I love my family as much as I love the sound of this clinking ice? You’ll wonder. Let the moment pass.
Finally, it’s hard cider time. Top the pitcher off with a 12 ounce bottle of hard cider and pour yourself a taste of the cocktail. If it’s too sour or generally “meh,” add some simple syrup and sweeten to taste. Hard cider these days can range from sweet apple juice for grown-ups tothat mimics a natural wine. Whatever direction you choose, this drink can veer sweet if you want it to, or not if you don’t.
Fill your guests’ glasses with ice and an apple slice garnish, and pour the fizzy punch on top. This is the how you pregame Thanksgiving–just ask those rosy-cheeked parade announcers.
