Thanksgiving is all about gathering with friends and family, enjoying great food, and creating memorable moments. While much of the focus is on the turkey, stuffing, and pies, let's not forget about the drinks! Whether you're serving up refreshing flavored water, cozy teas, or festive cocktails, the beverages you offer can enhance the overall experience. And just like cooking, the quality of the water you use plays a crucial role in the taste of your drinks.

This Thanksgiving, elevate your drink game with purified water from Dupure. Whether it’s to brew a delicate tea, mix a show-stopping cocktail, or just offer refreshing water on the table, Dupure’s water filtration systems ensure that every sip is pure, fresh, and delicious.

In this blog, we’ll share some fun and flavorful Thanksgiving drink recipes that you can easily make at home, all of which will be enhanced by using purified water from Dupure. Trust us, your guests will taste the difference!

Why Water Quality Matters for Thanksgiving Beverages

Before diving into the recipes, let’s talk about why purified water is key to creating high-quality beverages. Tap water often contains impurities like chlorine, sediment, and even traces of chemicals that can affect the taste and aroma of your drinks. For example, hard water, which contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, can leave a metallic aftertaste and impact the flavors of your beverages.

Dupure’s water filtration systems—which include options like reverse osmosis—remove these impurities, giving you clean, fresh-tasting water. This ensures that every ingredient in your drink is highlighted without interference from off-flavors. Whether you’re making tea, infused water, or a cocktail, purified water can bring out the best in every drink, making it taste crisper, cleaner, and more refreshing.

Now, let’s dive into some delicious Thanksgiving beverage ideas that will shine with purified water from Dupure!

Cranberry-Orange Flavored Water

Flavored water is a refreshing, non-alcoholic option to have on hand during Thanksgiving, and it’s a great way to keep everyone hydrated without reaching for sugary sodas. This festive combination of cranberry and orange brings a burst of holiday flavor that pairs perfectly with a Thanksgiving feast.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 orange, thinly sliced
• 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• Ice cubes (made with purified water)
• 2 quarts of purified water from Dupure

Directions:

1. Rinse the cranberries and orange slices thoroughly.
2. Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes made from Dupure purified water.
3. Add the cranberries, orange slices, and rosemary sprigs to the pitcher.
4. Pour in the 2 quarts of purified water and give it a gentle stir.
5. Let the water infuse for about 30 minutes in the fridge before serving.

Why purified water matters: The flavors of cranberries, oranges, and rosemary are delicate and bright. Using purified water ensures that no chlorine or mineral tastes get in the way of the clean, refreshing flavor of the infused ingredients. The water will taste crisp and naturally sweet, allowing the fruit and herbs to truly shine.

Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea

Nothing says fall like pumpkin spice, and what better way to warm up on Thanksgiving than with a steaming mug of pumpkin spice chai tea? This cozy drink is full of aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, and when brewed with purified water, it’s even more flavorful.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of purified water from Dupure
• 4 black tea bags
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3-4 whole cloves
• 3 cardamom pods (lightly crushed)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• Milk or non-dairy milk (optional)

Directions:

1. Bring 4 cups of Dupure purified water to a boil in a saucepan.
2. Add the black tea bags, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, ginger, and nutmeg to the boiling water.
3. Reduce the heat and let the tea steep for 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the water.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the pumpkin puree and honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
5. Strain the tea into mugs and add a splash of milk or non-dairy milk if desired.

Why purified water matters: Spiced teas like chai rely on the clarity of water to carry the flavors of the spices. Tap water with minerals or chlorine can dull the complex spices, leaving the tea tasting flat. By using purified water from Dupure, you’ll ensure that the pumpkin spice and chai flavors are bold and delicious in every sip.

Apple Cider Moscow Mule

Looking for a festive holiday cocktail? The Apple Cider Moscow Mule is a Thanksgiving twist on the classic Moscow Mule, combining crisp apple cider with ginger beer and vodka. When made with purified water for the ice and ginger beer, this cocktail is a crowd-pleaser that tastes extra clean and refreshing.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup apple cider (chilled)
• 2 oz vodka
• 1/2 cup ginger beer (made with purified water)
• Juice of 1/2 a lime
• Ice cubes (made with purified water)
• Apple slices and cinnamon sticks for garnish

Directions:

1. In a copper mug or glass, add a handful of ice cubes made from Dupure purified water.
2. Pour in the vodka, apple cider, and lime juice.
3. Top it off with ginger beer, stir gently, and garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick.

Why purified water matters: Purified water enhances both the ice and ginger beer in this cocktail, ensuring that no off-flavors from minerals or chlorine interfere with the bright, crisp taste of apple cider and ginger. Plus, the ice cubes will melt cleanly, keeping the drink fresh and flavorful longer.

Spiced Pear Sparkler

If you’re looking for a sophisticated non-alcoholic option or a mocktail to impress your guests, the Spiced Pear Sparkler is a delicious and elegant choice. This sparkling drink combines the sweetness of ripe pear with a touch of cinnamon and ginger, all topped off with sparkling water made from purified water.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pear, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 cup of sparkling purified water (use a soda maker with Dupure water)
• Ice cubes (made with purified water)
• Cinnamon sticks or pear slices for garnish

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mash the pear slices with cinnamon, ginger, honey, and lemon juice until you create a smooth puree.
2. Fill a glass with ice cubes made from Dupure purified water.
3. Add the pear mixture to the glass, then top with sparkling water.
4. Stir gently to combine and garnish with a cinnamon stick or pear slice.

Why purified water matters: When making sparkling water at home, using purified water from Dupure ensures that the water is free from any impurities that could affect the flavor of the carbonation. The result is a crisp, refreshing drink that’s perfect for Thanksgiving dinner.

Cinnamon Maple Old Fashioned

For a warm, festive take on a classic cocktail, try the Cinnamon Maple Old Fashioned. This version swaps the traditional sugar for a touch of maple syrup and adds a hint of cinnamon for an autumnal twist. Serve it with ice made from purified water to keep the drink as smooth as possible.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
• 2 dashes of bitters
• 1 cinnamon stick
• Ice cubes (made with purified water)
• Orange peel and cinnamon stick for garnish

Directions:

1. In a glass, combine the bourbon, maple syrup, and bitters.
2. Add a large ice cube (made with Dupure purified water) to the glass.
3. Stir the drink for about 20 seconds to chill, then garnish with an orange peel and cinnamon stick.

Why purified water matters: The ice in an Old Fashioned slowly melts, so using purified water ensures that as it does, it won’t introduce any unpleasant flavors into the drink. Dupure’s water keeps the cocktail smooth, clean, and perfectly balanced, allowing the bourbon and maple syrup to take center stage.
