The cocktail farmers have been on vacation this past week, which is why you haven’t heard much from us.  We have some very successful crops this year – peppers, beans and for the first time, watermelons – but those posts will be coming later.  Because I associate Labor Day with the start of fall, I am reprinting our pumpkin spice martini recipe from last October so you don’t have to go searching for it.  We use Hiram Walker’s pumpkin spice liqueur, which is where we got this recipe.

Pumpkin Spice Martini:

1 oz vanilla vodka
1 oz Bailey’s
1 1/2 oz pumpkin spice liqueur
dash of cinnamon and nutmeg

Combine the vodka, Bailey’s and pumpkin spice liqueur in a shaker with ice.  Pour evenly between two martini glasses, and sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top.  Or pour it all into a single drinking glass and call it a “smoothie.”  I won’t tell.

Is it Happy Hour yet?
