Today is usually Cheapo Wino Review Wednesday but I’m still rocking bronchitis like it’s my job, and I’m pretty sure that makes my palate unreliable. On the bright side, I’ll be ready to cough up a rousing rendition of “Jingle Bells” by the Christmas Holidays. “…coughing all the way, hack, hack, hack”
Instead of a wine suggestion, I’ve decided to give you a delicious, yet simple, seasonal drink recipe that’ll be sure to impress your guests. Don’t worry, it’s not pumpkin. According to my friend Jenn at Something Clever 2.0, EVERYTHING is pumpkin right now, pumpkin candles, pumpkin beer, pumpkin soup, pumpkin body cream, pumpkin air fresheners, pumpkin douche, etc., and it PISSES HER OFF! While I don’t share her level of anger or hatred for all things pumpkin, I definitely get it.
*I actually like the pumpkin douche, it smells like pie.
Are you ready for today’s drink recipe?!
drum roll, please…
Here’s everything you need:
Pinnacle’s Caramel Apple Vodka
cream liqueur
cinnamon graham cracker
ground cinnamon
apple slice for garnish
Here’s everything you do:
1. Mix equal parts apple caramel vodka & cream liqueur, shake. Easy, right?
2. Crush a graham cracker with your bare hands.
Pro tip- by channeling your pent-up frustration, hostility, and general antipathy for the unrealistic expectations placed upon you by our judgmental society, you’ll achieve a finer grind.
3. Put some vodka around the rim of the glass then dip it in the graham cracker.
4. Pour the drink in the glass, sprinkle some cinnamon on top, and garnish with an apple wedge!
5. Enjoy!
