A recipe we’ve been playing around with, and took to a Halloween party Saturday night. It’s quite tasty. For a single serving:
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce vanilla liqueur
- 1.5 ounces apple juice
- 1 tbsp. real pumpkin
- Cinnamon (dash)
- Nutmeg (garnish)
In a shaker with ice, shake up all the ingredients (yes, shaken, not stirred). The pumpkin should be pureed—canned pumpkin, in other words. The best apple juice I’ve found is all-natural—the cider-looking stuff.
You can rim the glasses with graham cracker crumbs, and even do a spritz of whipped cream on the drink—you could consider that the "pumpkin pie martini."
You should somewhat credit the Bulletin, but their recipe with orange juice was yucky.
oh, yum. now i am thirsty.
Oh, that was yummy!!!
