15 Gold Cocktails for When You’re Craving a Liquid Gold Fix

Kate Puhala
Jul 17, 2014

We’re most definitely not newbs when it comes to throwing a gilded cocktail party. So we’re here to offer up one serious #protip: Once the treats are dusted with edible glitter and the sparkly photo booth backdrop is positioned in place, be sure that the real stars of the hour — the drinks, of course — are just as gussied up! That means going way beyond gold leafing your stemware (though you could totally do that, too!) and crafting pure liquid gold. From brassy hued bourbon drinks to rose gold bellinis, these 15 shimmering sippables taste as deluxe as they look.

1. Liquid Gold: What happens when cloves + cinnamon infuse fresh pineapple juice and rum? You get a mulled masterpiece of a boozy beverage. Garnish with caramelized pineapple hunks ‘cause you fancy. (via Kitchenette)

2. Rosemary and Grapefruit Fizz: Vodka-soda-lime gets bumped up with a more mega citrus: the grapefruit. Fresh ruby red juice + matching flavored sparkling water give a tart fizz to this rosemary garnished cocktail. (via The Slender Student)

3. Ginger Gold Rush Cocktail: Kick it old school with this three-ingredient cocktail that shakes bourbon, ginger liqueur and lemon juice and serves it straight up. (via Two Tarts)

4. Pear and Ginger Sage Cocktail: This boozy bevy packs a massive flavor punch by combining vodka with three ultra fresh ingredients — pear nectar, diced ginger and sage leaves. Savor these fall flavors year round or switch it up with seasonal nectar from ripe stone fruit. (via A Cozy Kitchen)

5. Raspberry Coconut Punch: If the golden ombre fade of this punch doesn’t hook you, the taste of the sweet-and-sour sipper will! Tangy citrus collides with raspberry-pomegranate vodka and Malibu to create this party-ready flavor bomb. (via Averie Cooks)

6. Rhubarb Champagne Cocktail: When you’re done baking that world-famous rhubarb pie, treat yourself to another blue ribbon-worthy creation with what’s leftover of the tart veg. Be warned though: You’re gonna want to stare into the rose gold hue of this rhubarb cocktail for more than just one happy hour! (via 4Pure)

7. Golden Ale Beertail: Why choose between slinging back a brew or a cocktail when you can have both at once?! The ingredients for this golden ale beertail may seem a little odd (hmm… elderflower liqueur AND hot sauce?) but trust us when we say it puts you on the fast track to total refreshment. (via The Beeroness)

8. Gilded Sugar Rim: Sooo your drink of choice is any color of the rainbow but gold. Well sticking to your special sauce is fine, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get in on the festive spirit. The quick fix: Trick out your drink rim with gold sugar. (via Kelli Murray)

9. Hibiscus and Ginger Cocktail: This champagne cocktail might win for prettiest presentation — the star of the show is a plump hibiscus flower that dyes your bubbly the most stunning shade of rose gold. (via Spoon Fork Bacon)

10. Lemon Thyme Cocktail With Honey Lime Syrup: Make your gold cocktail nice and sweet (but not too sweet) by using honey instead of sugar. Balance it out with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh thyme as garnish. (via Dishing Up the Dirt)

11. Spiced Orange Spritzer: Cinnamon-y Goldshlager is the perfect PIC to blood orange soda that when mixed gives this vodka drink a warm and refreshing flavor. Grate in some ginger to make it extra spicy. (via Antiquaria)

12. Ginger and Prosecco Cocktail: Ginger beer and prosecco sound like a match made in mixology heaven. Consider that cotton candy topper the bridal bouquet ;) (via Style Me Pretty)

13. Bitters Rock Candy + Champagne: We’re obsessed with this whimsical way to add flavor to champagne — make bitters-flavored rock candy! Add the genius novelty to your flute to give your bubbly a perfect metallic sheen. (via Meats and Sweets)

14. The Sun Also Rises Cocktail: The secret ingredient to making this amped up daiquiri? Absinthe! Just a teaspoon will kick this rum and grapefruit drink into high gear. (via 10th Kitchen)

15. Peach and Raspberry Bellinis: Pour prosecco over raspberry + peach puree and get ready to witness the rose gold storm of the century. We don’t blame you for staring — just remember to sip! (via Sweet Peas and Saffron)

How To Stream 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' For Free This Holiday Season

Despite the fact my family (and the internet at large) loves classics like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas, my favorite Charlie Brown holiday special has always been A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. The 30-minute episode just highlights so much that I love about this time of year: family, CHOSEN family, and that feeling when we finally switch from spooky season to cozy season. Not to mention the fact the montage of Snoopy cooking Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite scene in any cartoon, like, ever. Here's everything you need to know about streaming A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for 2024.

  • A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (and A Charlie Brown Christmas) is available to stream for the 2024 holiday season!
  • The episode features Charlie Brown and friends sitting down for a very memorable Thanksgiving dinner.
  • A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving premiered in 1973 on CBS, and continues to be a fan favorite.

How To Stream 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'

This year, the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special is available to watch on Apple TV+, along with It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas. So if you're wondering, 'Is Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on Disney Plus?' unfortunately, no, it's not.

But the $9.99 price tag for an Apple TV+ subscription gives you access to so many other amazing titles (plus there's even a 7-day free trial meaning you can watch this special for free!). Check out Everything Coming To Apple TV+ In 2024 for a look into the streamer's newest projects!

What happened in Charlie Brown Thanksgiving?

Charlie Brown and Sally are preparing to spend Thanksgiving at their grandma's house. But when Charlie gets a call from Peppermint Patty, he learns that she's invited herself, Marcie, and Franklin over for dinner! Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Charlie decides to provide a low-key meal for his friends — which brings us to my favorite cooking montage of Snoopy making popcorn, jelly beans, and toast, and setting up a ping pong table like a dinner table.

Peppermint Patty is not happy with the dinner options, and is honestly pretty rude to Charlie, but Marcie reminds her the true spirit of the Thanksgiving season is about being together. It makes me a little weepy just writing this TBH!

I won't spoil the ending of the special just in case you somehow haven't seen it (?!?!) but I will say one of the final scenes features a station wagon with plenty of seating in the back, and as someone who grew up with mini vans and sedans, I still dream about riding in a car like this.

When did Charlie Brown Thanksgiving air?

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving first aired on CBS in 1973, then switched to airing on ABC in 2001. However in 2024, the special (as well as the other two) are available to stream on Apple TV+ after Apple acquired the rights in 2018.

My favorite moments that the duo documented on social were definitely Nina chowing down on a hot dog in the stands (that's so me), Shaun dancing along to Usher's halftime show, and them sharing a kiss after the big Chiefs win!

The two just look *so* happy together, and that makes me happy.

"Can you propose to this women yet? Beautiful couple!!!😍🔥," one commenter wrote on Instagram... and I'm wondering the exact same thing!

Shaun White and Nina Dobrev turned up in style to Jessica Szohr's (who you'll recognize as Vanessa from GG) wedding to Brad Richardson. Nina served as Jessica's Maid of Honor, and their Instagram posts have me emotional!!

"Almost two decades of friendship, there’s almost nothing we haven’t been through together," Nina says in her caption. "It makes me so happy to see you glowing with such a huge smile on your face. It’s an indescribable feeling to see your best friend marry the man of her dreams and create a beautiful (arguably the most beautiful) family together. It’s just the beginning, your life starts now. Congratulations you two lovebirds 🤍🤍🤍 i love you both so much!!!"

"You have been there with me through thick and thin for almost 2 decades… so thank you… thank you Nina for all you’ve done throughout our friendship- but especially for all the wedding events;)," Jessica's post says. "You outdid yourself … going through a surgery, had a movie coming out, redoing a house, and being such an amazing friend through everything. For real- love you more than you will ever know!"

October 30, 2024 — Nina Dobrev And Shaun White Announce Their Engagement

Nina and Shaun announced that they're engaged at the end of October, and in Julianne Hough's words, "made all our dreams come true!" The couple posted separate Instagram posts celebrating the news, and Nina's definitely made me laugh: "RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé."

Shaun popped the question in front of a beautiful arch decorated in white roses (with a 5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring, no biggie), and literally swept Nina off her feet. "I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him,” Nina tells Vogue. And even though she says she blacked out and doesn't remember the actual proposal, she does know "he said all the right things.” I could cry!

The proposal came after Shaun had had to reschedule a few times (once after her dirt bike accident and once after she suspected it on their Cape Town vacation) — and to make sure Nina wasn't suspicious, he sent her a fake invitation to a dinner with Anna Wintour! "He made the invite look so legitimate,” Nina says.

Their upcoming nuptials will be quite the event, and one source tells People their wedding will be a "blowout party." I'm not even the slightest bit surprised. “They are the perfect fit together — fun and adventurous, but also very grounding for each other,” the source says. “After the proposal, they were calling and texting friends saying, 'It can't get better than this' and were just glowing.”
