Autumn is one of the best seasons for food and drink! Check out this recipe from Premier Wine and Spirits of Southbury, located in the Southbury Plaza at 100 Main St. North, #11.

How to Make a Pumpkin Martini

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces vodka (I used marshmallow flavored vodka by Pinnacle)
• 3 ounces pumpkin pie cream liqueur (such as Pennsylvania Dutch) + more to rim glass
• Pumpkin pie spice (for garnish)
• Cinnamon sticks (for garnish) or colored jimmies, sprinkles, or decorator sugar to rim the glass

Directions

Pour some of the pumpkin pie cream liqueur into a dish. Dip the rim of a martini glass into the liqueur, then immediately roll the rim in colored jimmies, sprinkles or decorating sugar. Set aside.

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the 1 1/2 ounces of vodka and 3 ounces of pumpkin pie cream liqueur. Shake to chill and blend, then strain cocktail into the glass.

Sprinkle drink with pumpkin pie spice and add a stick of cinnamon as a stir stick.

SUBSTITUTE: If you cant find pumpkin pie cream liqueur, substitute 1 1/2 ounces of pumpkin liqueur (such as Hiram Walker) + 1 1/2 ounces of Irish cream (such as Baileys).
