Seasonal Delights

The holidays are here, which means it's time to raise a glass and celebrate. Although finding an interesting cocktail may prove to be challenging.  If you're tired of the typical red and/or white wine, or even a pale ale of sorts, why not party down with these few choice Thanksgiving cocktails.

Pumpkin Martini:

1.  Line up the martini glasses and fill with ice and water. This will chill the glass quickly.
2. For each martini, add 2 oz of vodka, 3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree and 2 tablespoons of simple syrup to the shaker. Shake VERY well.
3. Pour out the ice/water mixture and pour in the pumpkin martini. Dust with pumpkin pie spice.

Crantini: 

1. Fill up a Martini or cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
2. Pour cranberry juice and vodka over ice.
3. Shake and strain it into a Martini glass.
4. Garnish with a lemon slice before serving.

Frozen Pumpkin Pie Martini:

1. Rub the rim of your martini glasses with a wedge of lime and dip into a dish filled with graham cracker crumbs. (Similar to salt on a margarita glass, this will give you a graham crust for you drinks)
2. Blend ice, ice cream, condensed milk, pumpkin and rum in the blender until thick and smooth.
3. Pour into graham cracker encrusted glasses.
4. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

Enjoy!

And please do drink responsibly.
