OBSESSIONSEDITORS’ PICKSONE OF OUR FAVORITE things about
Thanksgiving dinner is the deliciously
content lull that takes place sometime
after dessert has been served but before
all of the dishes have been corralled into
the kitchen. It’s the perfect time to bring
out a post-party tray, which might include
an invigorating nightcap to fuel the clean-
up ahead or a final nibble of something
special. Our editors shared their favorite
post-feast treats—because there’s always
room for one more bite, especially around
the holidays. —OSET BABÜRClosing Time Surpriseyour guests with thesepost-feast treats.FORTHAVE SPIRITS
BROWN COFFEE LIQUEUR
Associate Restaurant Editor Oset
Babür usually drinks Forthave’s
amaro, but Daniel de la Nuez’s
caffeinated collaboration with Café
Integral with notes of dark chocolate
and almonds is perfect for chilly
nights in. ($28, astorwines.com)CACAO & CARDAMOM BONBONS
