The Thirsty Gals

Your go to guide for hosting the perfect friendsgiving or Thanksgiving dinner

If you're getting into cocktail making at home, there are a few items you'll needed to achieve the proper taste and technique. This is a list of affordable options we love!

Whether you're making cocktails or mocktails, taking the time to source specialty ingredients can elevate your drinks from fine to fantastic! We've done a lot of recipe testing, so we know which brands are better than others and which ingredients are harder to find at your local supermarket.

What better way to get into the Halloween spirit than with these super fun recipes!? We curated this list based on creativity, taste, and ease. You'll also see 1-5 scoring for how “easy it is to make” in the notes of each recommendation! 1 being “anyone with a cocktail shaker” vs 5 “mixologist.” Truly excited to keep this list on hand every October. Be sure to let us know which ones you make at home this season!

We love fall! This list should urge you to get cozy & festive with an autumnal cocktail. Shake em' up and share with your friends! We have exquisite taste, these recipes were selected by being perfectly balanced and to ensure your success in making them at home. Let us know which ones you try.

We make and test drink recipes for a living. If you're looking to fill that cute bar cart you just bought, this list is for you! By stocking these staple spirits, you can make any style cocktail in a pinch. All of these brands can be substituted, it's the type of alcohol or spirit that matters most!

Mocktails are on the rise these days! We meet more and more people who don't drink alcohol, and think that's pretty cool. These are THE most delicious and not at all sugary replacements for when you want to unwind with a beverage that still feels special & sophisticated.

Thrifting is a true past time of ours. I know it can be overwhelming and hard to narrow down the shops you'll hit first. We've spent hours upon hours browsing the racks at all of these amazing establishments and cannot recommend them enough! Each note includes the average price range with $ = cheap, $$ = affordable, and $$$ = expensive. Use this list next time you're in Brooklyn and you'll feel like a pro!

We've lived in Brooklyn for 7+ years, attending many bars with many great happy hour specials that we must share with the world! And this list is just getting started...
