Leaves changing colors, crisp autumn air, county fairs, yeah, yeah yeah... Let's not forget the best part of the fall season, Pumpkin spice latte at every coffee shop! Yes this coffee will more than likely have to show your local barista a copy of your credit report and you may have to take out a small business loan to afford this caffeinated experience but it is well worth it! So I made a Pumpkin Vanilla Vodka for starters and then tossed together a few good fall ideas that will help you usher in changing season. Take some time to kick back and sip these treats, this stuff is great in a martini on the rocks, over vanilla ice cream or hell over a bumper!
Pumpkin Vanilla Spice Vodka Infusion
2 Vanilla beans (Opened and scraped into the mix)
10 thin 4 inch long shavings of Pumpkin
1/2 Can Pumpkin Pie filling
1/2 of a whole nutmeg
1 Litter bottle of Vodka
1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
Place all ingredients into an infusion jar
Let this sit for about 1 week in a refrigerator.
