Thanksgiving is around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! While others clamor to prepare turkey (tofurky!) and all the fixings for their annual feast, I like to prepare something a little more…festive.
Enter our newest LEAF video: The Tipsy Turkey Cocktail.
Steamed pumpkin? Check! Cinnamon & spice? Check! Maple syrup? Check!
