This Thanksgiving, take the opportunity to grace the table with more than just your favorite foods. In other words, don't forget to bring a few liquid treats with you too.
Because when Dad delivers his annual table-side speech and after the entire family has asked you about your job (and love life), you'll need a few ingredients on hand to whip up -- and quickly down -- any of these holiday-inspired cocktails.

Nothing says fall like pumpkin pie. We've all had the latte, bread, and whatever else you can make pumpkin -- but what about a margarita?

The creamy concoction is perfect for Thanksgiving and good enough to make all year long.

1 Bar spoon of pumpkin purée
2 Dashes of walnut bitters
