That time of year is approaching again -- the day we get to stuff our faces with a large amount of heavy food and have the luxury of napping afterward. However, we must not forget about the festive cocktails. Forget about the wine. Get your hands on a drink intended only for this time of year. In an effort to offer thanks, here is our list of some of the wackiest Thanksgiving cocktails.

Prosecco and Wild Celery
Why not get your vegetables in drink form this Thanksgiving? This way you can load up on the good stuff like the mashed potatoes and stuffing. Make syrup by boiling some water and sugar on the stove for a few seconds. Then crush some celery up and drop it in. Allow it to sit like that overnight. The next day you can remove the celery and and add Prosecco. Pour it all into a Champagne flute and garnish with what else? A celery leaf.

Burnt Turkey
Who burned the turkey? You did! Something a host will always fear, but you weirdly are excited to taste the burn. All you need is some Bourbon, Cinnamon Schnapps and some ice. Don't forget to garnish the finished product with some mint leaves. A surprisingly refreshing savor without the burnt aftertaste.
