Thanksgiving isn’t only about food — it’s also about what you sip between the cooking, serving, and stories. Herbal drinks and mocktails add warmth, freshness, and digestive comfort, and they fill the house with natural aromas.
Start the day with a simple apple cider simmered with Rosemary Leaf Whole (shop) and cinnamon sticks. The piney rosemary note pairs beautifully with apple and spice, making a fragrant, non-alcoholic drink everyone can enjoy.
For a refreshing option, make a lemon-mint spritz: fresh lemon juice, sparkling water, and a pinch of Mint Leaf Cut, topped with a parsley sprig. Later in the evening, wind down with a calming cup of Lavender Flower Whole and Chamomile Flower Whole (shop), a duo that’s perfect for relaxing after a long day in the kitchen.
To create balance in your Thanksgiving drink menu, think in pairings. Apple cider loves rosemary and cinnamon; citrus mocktails come alive with thyme or mint; and rich desserts pair beautifully with lavender or ginger tea. Using herbs from LA Herb turns simple drinks into cozy rituals that keep everyone happy and refreshed all day.
