If you're looking to take advantage of what you already own, the Wichita Eagle looks at the various concoctions that can come out of a well-stocked home bar. The Cranberry Honey Punch (green tea, cranberry juice cocktail, tequila, honey and cranberries) sounds like a Thanksgiving take on a margarita. Holidays are always more festive with tequila.
If you can't stop thinking about cranberries, a sloe gin cocktail is the right choice. Sloe gin is a deep-red liqueur, made by steeping sloe berries in gin. The end result is a refreshingly sweet cocktail that would go best with dessert. Consider this a lighter alternative to port or dessert wines.
If you still think you want to bring a bottle of wine, swap in a bottle of mead -- the honey wine can go great with ham or turkey, and a decent bottle is about what you would spend on a standard red or white.
