When I think of Thanksgiving or ~fall~ cocktails, I don't necessarily think of Tequila. But why the hell not? It's one of my favorite spirits and it's practically good for you.
A) It's the only alcohol that's an upper. True story. Google it.
B) It's got enough flavor that you don't casually forget your drinking and get too drunk
C) It's just delicious. Do I really need to elaborate here?
