If you want to learn a new skill, why not give drink mixing a try. With this new skill, you can broaden your taste in drinks. You are not limited to the bottled brews anymore. During Thanksgiving, you can mix your own Thanksgiving shots with the help of readily available ingredients and recipes. Thanksgiving would be even more special with your own freshly made Thanksgiving shots.
Overall, mixing your own drinks, like Thanksgiving shots, is simple. You just have to know a few basic terms and ideas. The necessary instruments are common enough that you might already have them in your kitchen. Normally, you only require a blender, cocktail shaker, strainer, and stirrer. You can even do without an especially designed stirrer. Just use a long-handled spoon, instead. I can tell you that Thanksgiving shots prepared using an especially designed stirrer do not taste that much different from Thanksgiving shots prepared using just a regular long-handled spoon.
Go get a couple of books on the subject of mixing shots. You have a lot of them to choose from. You can also choose to learn the basics from the Web first before you dive into a book. Who knows?
