re: Holiday Batch Cocktail Ideas?

I'm planning on making two "signature cocktails" for thanksgiving, one clear and one brown. They won't be batch cocktails because it will be a small group of us.

For one, I'm thinking gin and tonic with a small amount of cranberry sauce stirred in, garnished with cranberries and either rosemary or thyme.

Still need to decide what to make for the brown liquor drink.
