A Turkeyless Thanksgiving -- Skinny Vanilla Cranberry Cocktail


In an attempt to stay within our theme today is our "Turkeyless Thanksgiving" cocktail. The skinny vanilla cranberry is a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy pairing perfectly with the appetizer and main dish. The bonus? It's a skinny cocktail so it's much healthier than a normal cocktail, this one is sugar free! So feel free to take another appetizer or to load your plate up because your cocktail drinking just got a little more guilt free.

This cocktail recipe comes from The Fromagette.
