What are your Thanksgiving dinner plans?

Share recipes, decorating ideas or anything else you will be doing this year to make your Thanksgiving memorable. In the meantime here is a recipte to toast Thanksgiving with a Wild Thyme Bellini to help get the juices flowing.

This recipe comes to us from the folks at Barefoot Wine and sounded good enough that we had to share. The Wild Thyme Bellini they’ve come up with blends berries and raspberry liqueur and champagne … they suggest Barefoot Bubbly, but we’re guessing any Champagne should work. The resulting cocktail is garnished with a thyme sprig. It sounds perfectly delicious for Thanksgiving. Speaking from experience, Bellini’s are really, really easy to make, have a sophisticated look and taste and almost always impress guests. A perfect starter at dinner parties. Here’s the recipe:

Wild Thyme Bellini

Ingredients: 1 oz. berry puree (wild berry or raspberry), 1 oz. raspberry liqueur, 4 oz. Dry Champagne, one thyme sprig.

Directions: First blend fresh berries in a food processor to create the berry puree. Then, combine all three ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, including the bubbly of your choice. Roll contents from one end of shaker to the next three times. Strain into chilled champagne flute. Garnish with thyme sprig. Here’s the photo Barefoot Wine sent with this so you can see what yours should kinda look like when it’s all said and done …

Directions continued … Toast guests and thank them for coming. Feast on a succulent bird or a tofurky depending on which direction you swing and most of all, have a wonderful, warm Thanksgiving.
