Thanksgiving Cocktail (A different version)

1.5 shots out of 5

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!  

I am sooo very Thankful for my amazing family, friends and all of you wonderful people who tune in with me every day (or so) to see what new cocktails I've made.  

Thank You to all of you who have made this blog what it is, without you......well.......I'd be drinking alone!

I gave tonight's cocktail 1.5 shots out of 5........and on Thanksgiving!!  

I found this cocktail at about.com, after I was raving about them the other day I unfortunately found a cocktail on there that I did NOT like.  

That's OK though, I'm still going back for more in the future.  

Thankfully I have quite a few good cocktails that you can make for Thanksgiving, such as my Thanksgiving Cider, Kinky Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Cocktail (my version), and one of my favorites Pumpkin Pie Martini.  

One (or all) of those are sure to please your crowd.

Happy Happy Thanksgiving you, your family and friends from The Cocktail Lady!!

Day 261

Thanksgiving Cocktail

3.5 shots out of 5

I get to go on a date night with my husband tonight!!!!  

These occurrences are RARE, so I get totally excited when they actually happen!!  

We'll be celebrating our anniversary a day late, but at least we get to celebrate it!

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  

This cocktail I whipped up myself, I figured that orange and cranberry would go good with the pumpkin flavor in the vodka.  

This is not a super sweet, super flavorful cocktail.  

This is a nice subtle cocktail where you can sit back and enjoy it's cold refreshingness (I love it when I type my own versions of words like "refreshingness" and it immediately gets a red squiggly line underneath it......like "Hey, that's not a real word!".  

If you know me you know I speak "My Own Language" where I make up my own words at times) and also taste the hints of all of the ingredients mixed with in it.  

This is a safe cocktail, in which I mean it doesn't have that face squinching alcohol taste, it isn't super sweet where you are kind of dreading the next sip, it's just a nice cocktail.

Here is my recipe for a Thanksgiving Cocktail:

• 1 1/2 oz Pinnacle Pumpkin Pie Vodka
• 2 oz cranberry cocktail juice
• 2 oz orange juice
• 1/8 oz grenadine

In a tall cocktail glass filled with ice, pour in all of your ingredients.  Stir your cocktail up well and enjoy.

Here's to Pinnacle's Pumpkin Pie Vodka!  I even tasted the vodka on it's own before I made tonight's cocktail and I must say, it tastes good!  I can taste the pumpkin pie flavor in the vodka for sure.

Cheers!!
