After Thanksgiving dinner you'll want to unwind with a yummy dessert cocktail. Making a drink happens to be a lot easier (and faster) than baking up a batch of cookies or a cake, and obviously has different after affects. Cookies and cake will make you feel bashfully bloated, while a cocktail tends to make you feel chipper and chatty.
First, you'll need the perfect cocktail glass, depending on if your drink calls for a tumbler, rocks, or martini glass. You'll also need a cocktail shaker and strainer.
Preparation for all of the drinks you're going to make below is as follows:
1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
2. Shake well.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
