Thirsty Thursday: Thanksgiving’s a Breeze Seabreezes
In our humble opinion, Thanksgiving is superior to any other day of the year. In an effort to make this year's feast the best of all time (sorry, Pilgrims and Wampanoag tribe), we're bringing you the recipes, how-tos and decorating ideas to help you become a Turkey Day pro.

It’s more than just alliteration; it’s a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, get down and go to sleep happy.
Warning: we do not recommend drinking while carving. And while we definitely want to avoid the potentially hazardous situation of carving a turkey under the influence, we also think that everyone could use a drink on the morning of Thanksgiving to curb some of that holiday stress.
Think of this cocktail as an autumnal screwdriver (vodka + orange juice) with the addition of cranberry juice and fresh mint. This Seabreeze is the perfect morning beverage to wake you up to start that bird early on Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving, folks!
