The Minnesota Pumpkin Spice Item You Haven’t Tried
Now that it's fall in Minnesota, Pumpkin Spice things are everywhere. But here's one Pumpkin Spice item I'll bet you haven't tried.
It's the Pumpkin Spice... wait for it... Martini! Now, if you're like me, your reaction probably was "That sounds horrible!" Yeah, that's what I thought when I first hear it, too.
But after reading through the recipe, I might actually want to try it. It's made with vanilla-flavored vodka, pumpkin pie spice, some pumpkin puree, and more-- it actually sounds kind of good. And, after all, I love a good dry gin martini. (And my wife and I love a festive Candy Cane Martini during the holidays, too.)
So without further ado, check out the pure fall Pumpkin Spice Martini, courtesy of the gang at allrecipe.com:
