Pumpkin Ginger Shandy

This quick and easy two-ingredient Pumpkin Ginger Shandy is the perfect cocktail for fall or Thanksgiving entertaining!

When it comes to Thanksgiving entertaining, I am all about keeping things easy. I have hosted dinner for my family almost every year for the past five years, so I definitely have a system down by now that keeps my Thanksgiving morning running smoothly and virtually stress-free. The house is cleaned top to bottom by the whole family the day or two before Thanksgiving. Pies get baked the day before. I break out both of my slow cookers to prepare side dishes so I can keep the oven free for the real star of the Thanksgiving dinner table.

The only thing I really have to worry about the day of the big dinner is roasting the turkey. Keeping our annual family Thanksgiving dinners fuss-free and simple makes turkey day more enjoyable for not only the guests but for the dinner hostess as well. 😉 Even the cocktail I will be serving to my dinner guests this year will be quick and easy, requiring only two simple ingredients to make!

For this year’s Thanksgiving dinner, I will be whipping up this perfect for fall Pumpkin Ginger Shandy. This cocktail is literally a half and half mixture of your favorite pumpkin ale and ginger beer. You get a smooth spiced pumpkin flavor from the ale and a nice ginger bite from the beer. This shandy will not only pair perfectly with that roasted turkey but would also be fabulous served alongside a nice slice of homemade pumpkin pie.
