"I picture this as starting the evening with Avéze, the French Alpine aperitif "welcome." Before the turkey even hits the table, your guests need something to do with their hands besides doom-scrolling the family group chat. Avéze is a bold, herbaceous gentian liqueur born in the mountains of Cantal, France. Avéze doesn't posture, pander, or apologize. Serve it over crushed ice, let it open up, and enjoy every sip till the glass is empty."
"Libélula, named for the dragonfly, blends bright blanco with gently oaked reposado, giving you a tequila that exists beautifully in between worlds. Pair it with Combier Triple Sec, the Loire Valley's gift to cocktail history and the world's first triple sec, and suddenly that wobbly cylinder of cranberry sauce has found its soulmate. Sometimes matches can be made across oceans and borders."
Friendsgiving centers on chosen families gathering to share food, drinks, and companionship with global flavors and relaxed skill levels. Start the evening with Avéze, a bold, herbaceous gentian aperitif from the Cantal mountains served over crushed ice to open palates. Offer The Dragonfly's Dance, using Libélula Joven tequila, Combier Triple Sec, lime juice, and cranberry syrup, shaken and garnished with sugared cranberries for a balanced, celebratory cocktail. Libélula blends blanco and gently oaked reposado to bridge flavor worlds and pairs well with citrus liqueurs. Cocktails aim to complement turkey and stuffing rather than overpower them.
