Hosting a Friendsgiving bash this year, but don’t know the first thing about cooking a Turkey Day feast? If you’re like us and would rather just hit up the hot bar at Whole Foods than roast a bird for 10 hours, you’ll need another way to impress your friends with some good old-fashioned hosting skills. We highly suggest whipping up these five Belle Isle cocktails–one to complement each perfectly planned part of your shindig. From pre-dinner apertifs to post-dinner ‘tinis and all the stuffing in between, here’s a cocktail menu that will have your buds thinking you’re a cooler, younger version of Martha Stewart.
happy thanksgiving!

Belle Isle Moonshine is a premium, handcrafted spirit proudly hailing from Richmond, Virginia.
We take the name Belle Isle from a small, 540-acre island located smack dab in the middle of the James River where Civil War soldiers used surplus corn rations to make moonshine in copper kettles.
Belle Isle Moonshine is distilled from 100% organic corn, grown by three family farms and responsibly sourced. Once triple-distilled, we charcoal filter Belle Isle four times over. Then, we cut it with purified water right from the James River. Our infusions are made with 100% real ingredients, never artificial flavors or color. We use real grapefruits sourced from Texas and California, local honey from the Shenandoah Valley, organic habaneros grown an hour away, and freshly roasted coffee beans from the most socially conscious roastery in Richmond, Blanchard's Coffee Roasting Co.
From there, each bottle of Belle Isle Moonshine is filled, corked, labeled, and packed by hand by our Production team, who check each bottle and batch for quality assurance. Since Belle Isle is made in small batches, you can find the batch number handwritten in the bottom right corner of each bottle.
Distilled from good times and 100% organic corn.
