With all the fuss around how to carve a turkey, how to make gravy and which recipes for Thanksgiving side dishes you should try this year, drinks are the last thing you need to worry about. In fact, they should be so easy that even the cook and bartender have time for a few sips.

That's why we developed these three easy Thanksgiving drinks that will take you from the night before the holiday all the way through Thanksgiving weekend. You'll find a festive fall Apple Cider Mimosa for Thanksgiving morning. Rim flutes in brown sugar blended with pumpkin pie spice and garnish each cocktail with a thin apple slice.

Scrumptious Duplin Hot Toddies are toasty mugs to hold around the turkey fryer and in front of the fire when the kids are all tucked in for the night. Cloves, cinnamon and a little rum warm you to the core.

Make a batch of Black Friday Punch for day-after lounging around the house and building massive leftover turkey sandwiches. It's a lazy-day drink based on spiced wine but kicked up with a hit of vodka. That kind of cocktail is much deserved after all that cooking and a perfect nip for a few hours of online shopping.
