Your family is creating drama, the turkey’s in the oven, the cranberry sauce has set and there are half a dozen pies cooling on the porch. How do you keep everyone happy and deal with the stress?

These 21 cocktails below are prime for Thanksgiving (and will work all season long) because they’re filled to the brim with fall flavors. They’ll warm you right up, add a decorative cheer to the table and make Uncle Bob (or any half-welcomed guests, for that matter) a bit more tolerable.
