Notes

Why It Works

This is Thanksgiving in a glass without being heavy or overly sweet. The maple syrup brings a subtle autumn warmth that blends beautifully with the zing of lime and the spice of ginger beer. It’s refreshing — exactly what people want before a big meal — and incredibly easy to batch in a pitcher for guests. This one pleases vodka drinkers, cocktail lovers, and the “just give me something light” crowd.
