Ugh. The belly is full. Everyone still lingers, watching football, talking smack and catching up on old times. Thanksgiving is definitely a holiday that lends itself to food and liquor. For the most part it’s a mannish holiday, but for those that have the Friday off, you may be space age balling and having a late night get together. You know the Planet is for the grown-ups and we have just the drinks to put you on your ass (with either a designated driver or a sleepover).
The good folks at Voli Vodka have some Thanksgiving cocktails for us that run the gamut of sophistication from martinis and cosmos to killer cocktails. They also have the distinction of being low in calories. Some of you care about that sort of thing and some fo you don’t, but the proof is still in the drinks and these are a doozy. Check these out and try them at your next part.
