Turkini
- 1 1/2 oz. bourbon ~ make it Wild Turkey
- 1 oz. cream de cacoa, light
- 1/2 oz. Kahlua
- 1/2 oz. milk
- chocolate syrup
- 1 1 1/2 oz. Bailey's
Put ice in a shaker and then measure the first five ingredients into the shaker. Shake and strain into a martini glass drizzled with the chocolate sauce. Garnish with a turkey cookie or candy.

Sweet Potato Casserole Old-Fashioned
- 1/2 oz. El Gupao sweet potato syrup
- 3 dashes El Guapo chicory pecan bitters

- 3 oz. bourbon ~ again why not Wild Turkey or go with Maker's Mark

- Orange twist
Muddle the orange wheel, chickory pecan bitters, and sweet potato syrup at the bottom of a rocks glass, add a large ice cube, and the bourbon. Twist the orange peel over the drink, and garnish with roasted mini marshmallows
