When you’re hosting a crowd for Thanksgiving dinner, the last thing you have time for is shaking up a cocktail for each guest as they walk through the door. This recipe offers a smart solution. Whip up a pitcher (or two) of our autumnal punch in advance and refrigerate, then let everyone pour their own drink, topping it off with a splash of sparkling wine, for a festive start to the meal.
