This year tradition was messed with.

This year I was informed that I was in charge of cocktails for Thanksgiving dinner and that someone else would bring the pie… Wait what?

I love making cocktails but I always bring the pie! Grandma Monique’s recipe! Every year!
Humpf. Well fine then. I’ll bring cocktails but they’ll have pie in them.

Introducing homemade pumpkin pie spice infused vodka.

I put dried cloves, cinnamon sticks, and chunks of fresh ginger root into a glass decanter of vodka and let it sit in a dark corner for a week. I tasted it every couple of days and once the vodka tasted like pie I strained it.

Pie in a glass makes me almost as happy as Grandma’s pie in my belly.
