Flannel Shirt Cocktail

Flannel Shirt Thanksgiving cocktail by Jeffrey Morgenthaler

A cozy cocktail for a holiday feast.

In the Nov/Dec 2024 issue, contributing editor Wayne Curtis makes a compelling case for why Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s Flannel Shirt cocktail should be the official Thanksgiving cocktail. “It delivers both the sumptuous sweetness of brown sugar and the edge of old-fashioned bitterness, without which no holiday meal is complete,” he writes. “It is Thanksgiving in a glass.”
