This is what the holidays are REALLY about.
Of course we love our families, and Christmas and regular Thanksgiving are pretty alright. But Friendsgiving is special… your uncle isn’t there to implicate you as his political debate opponent against your will and if you want to play Slap the Bag before dinner, it’s completely acceptable.
However, if you’re looking to make this Friendsgiving one for the books we have a few Saucey approved punch bowl connections guaranteed to get you and your best buds looser than a goose this Friendsgiving, no bag slapping required.

3 Cups Jack Daniels Honey
3 Cups Simply Orange Juice
