DIY Friendsgiving Decorations

Once you have the basics down, add a personal touch with some DIY Friendsgiving decorations. This pumpkin ice bucket is so simple to make but will add a ton of character to your bar area. 

All you need to do is cut the top off of your pumpkin, hollow it out, and then add ice and drinks. I carved the front of the pumpkin slightly shorter than the back so that you could easily see and access what was inside. The taller side on the back helps the bottles stand up straight. 

To add stability to the pumpkin, I propped it up with a couple of bricks and then used to those bricks as display areas for some miniature white pumpkins and for my succulent planter.

Duck Fat Sazerac

This drink will definitely grab your guest’s attention although, it’s not for everyone (especially the vegetarians). If you’re serving duck at your dinner, save the duck fat! Just as its name suggests, this recipe requires you to infuse your rye whiskey with duck fat. 

Bourbon Apple Cider

Bourbon and apple cider work together beautifully in this delicious cocktail. The cinnamon and apple garnish make for a beautiful presentation and honestly, it just makes this seasonal cocktail that much more fun to drink. You can get a great recipe here.
