You are hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year and the menu is filled with wonderful food, but there's something missing. Every great meal deserves a great drink and below are five refreshing, seasonal recipes that you may want to consider. They are not all spiked, either. Thanksgiving is a family affair, after all, so it is only appropriate to have a non-alcoholic option available as well and I've included a couple of suggestions for those as well.

•Butternut Old Fashioned

First things first: this is a great drink, but you will need to begin a week ahead to allow time for the infusion.

This Butternut Old Fashioned is a fun, unique take on a classic and it is filled with all of the flavors of the season. It begins with roasted butternut squash-infused bourbon, then adds both maple syrup and bitters along with a barrel aged bitters. It is worth the time involved and will impress even the finickiest members of your family.

•Cranberry Ginger Sparkler

Here's a mocktail that the entire family can enjoy and it's both simple and flavorful.

The Cranberry Ginger Sparkler features cranberry juice and a homemade ginger syrup, which you will want to keep around through the holiday season. To finish it off, just top it with some non-alcoholic sparkling cider and a few fresh cranberries and you have a refreshing drink that works wonderfully with all the table trimmings.

•Pear Naked Sailor

The name of this drink may be a little risque for Grandma, though if she's a saucy one, she may enjoy it anyway.

Inside the Pear Naked Sailor you will find spiced rum mixed with pear and ginger. Add a little lime, some bitters, and top it off with a good ginger ale and a fantastic, seasonal cocktail is born. Don't forget the pear and nutmeg garnish, they're the perfect finishing touch.

•Pumpkin Divine

We cannot have a Thanksgiving dinner without a little pumpkin and this is one of the best cocktails you will find with the seasonal favorite.

The Pumpkin Divine is rather simple and begins with a great pear-flavored vodka. To this we add pumpkin butter, triple sec, and syrup along with the favorite spices of the winter season to create a cocktail that is, well, simply divine.

•Cran Dandy Shandy

Do you have leftover ginger beer from your last Moscow Mule session? If so, this refreshing mocktail is a great way to use it up.

The Cran Dandy Shandy is another simple, alcohol-free drink that requires just three ingredients: lemonade, white cranberry juice, and a snappy ginger beer. The result is a fun, refreshing drink that you can have at the ready to mix up when dinner guests arrive.
