Pumpkin Martini
Well, that's what the recipe book called it. Not regulation, but after a
few of my own tweaks it was very good. I don't normally like anything on the rim of my glass, but a friend I had over insisted. I was glad she did as I really enjoyed it. 1 1/2 ounces of vanilla vodka 3 ounces of half and half 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 T brown sugar 1 ounce canned pumpkin Prepare Martini glass with brown sugar around the rim. Shake ingredients all together with a few ice cubes and then strain. Lynne |

If you have enough of them you may get drunk enough to call it a Pumpkin Mai Tai. |

Although this vodka straight out of the bottle tasted worse than vanilla extract. I probably won't be getting it again. Vodka with a splash of olive juice makes me think someone is mixing up a glass of poison.... something to be served on Halloween. Isn't life wonderful we can all enjoy our mixed drinks any way we please. Lynne |

That actually sounds nice, and I'm not a flavored vodka person either. Will have to give that a try, sounds good for a bloody mary too. TammyM |

Jesus Henry, they have your mandarin orange vodka, your grapefruit vodka, your CRANBERRY vodka ... oh my god, I must have been living under a rock not to notice this proliferation of truly weird stuff! But pepper vodka sounds really nice... <shrug> Go figure! TammyM |
