This Thanksgiving, You Can Have Your Booze & Eat It, Too
To some people, Thanksgiving is simply quality time with family and friends that they can't get throughout the rest of the year. To others, it's that one time when it's okay to be a gluttonous hog and get hammered all weekend long.
In that spirit of eat-and-drink-until-you-drop, we've found some of the best Thanksgiving Day recipes that combine your favorite traditional dishes with your alcohol of choice. We're talking appetizers, main dishes, and desserts with wine, hard cider, vodka, and more—there's something for everyone!
These, of course, will be no substitution for all that wine and beer you'll be drinking throughout your holiday break, so make sure to stock up accordingly.

1. Cheddar & Hard Cider Fondue
Fondue is one of the most amazing things in the entire culinary world—especially when it comes to seasonal fondue. Make the Food Network's version of cheddar and hard cider fondue and literally dip everything you can in it before it gets eaten up: sausages, breads, vegetables, pretzels... candy? (Everything tastes better with cheese!) They add cider and bourbon to the fondue, so you know you're in for a true treat.
2. Whiskey Glazed Carrots
Once you try The Pioneer Woman's recipe for whiskey glazed carrots, you'll be convinced that everything will taste better with a splash of whiskey.
3. Green Beans with Wine (& Bacon)
Green bean casserole is a classic that can't be touched—or so you say, until you get a hold of this boozy, bacon-y version. We also like the addition of the mozzarella cheese for a little gooey flavor and the soy sauce for a little tang.
4. IPA Mashed Potatoes (With Garlic)
"Much like a single malt scotch, to bring out the true essence of a potato and show off its flavor, texture and color, you need to practice the concept of 'Simplicity is Complexity'!" So says the Home Brew Chef, and he puts his taters where his mouth is with his IPA mashed potatoes.
