Pumpkin Pie Martini--#Pumpkin Week

This is the last day of #PumpkinWeek.  It just flew by and I have had a great time learning a lot of new pumpkin recipes and sharing my favorite recipes with everyone else.  I thought I would finish up this week with a cocktail, after all...it is Friday.


Now, those of you who know me know that Frank is the bartender extraordinaire around here.  He does a great job of whipping up whatever I throw his way.  Well, today I decided to experiment on my own and make a Pumpkin Pie Martini.  I used some of my pumpkin puree and some heavy cream, vanilla vodka, kahlua and pumpkin spice liqueur.  I gave Frank a taste, then I took a taste....and then we threw it down the sink and I stepped aside and let the master take over LOL.


This has been a wonderful week.
Thanks for hosting Terri.
I am going to kick back and relax with this wonderful cocktail.
Happy #PumpkinWeek everyone.

    I was just revisiting our pumpkin posts - ahhh... I would like one of these martini treats tonight... though I bet they only sell those pumpkin flavor liquers seasonally - I'm going to have to keep an eye out!
