Pumpkin Pie Martinis --with-- Fulton’s Harvest & New Amsterdam Vodka --and Pumpkin Pie Spiced Pepitas Garnish--
I recently attended a martini party to which all of the guests brought a different martini to share. The Fulton’s Alone, Fulton’s Harvest is a creamy, rich liqueur that is immediately reminiscent of homemade pumpkin pie with heavy cinnamon and nutmeg flavors. On the rocks it would make the perfect after dinner treat and mixed into coffee it would taste refreshingly like autumn. It is very close to actually tasting like warm pumpkin pie a la mode without being heavy or over-sweet as some dessert flavored liqueurs are. I decided to try New Amsterdam vodka because it too was fairly new to our store and I was curious. While I

Jessie and I have been on a margarita kick lately. It started with the mild spring and early summer. As summer winds down we found ourselves looking for a variation on our favorite margarita recipe, this is what I came up with…
Phil’s Pineapple Margarita
The pineapple flavor in this variation is a refreshing alternative to standard margaritas
Ingredients
Instructions
1. (If using a tub of fresh pineapple, skip to #3) If using a real pineapple,
2. 1. Peel and core pineapple; cut pineapple into rough 2-inch chunks,
3. Puree ½ of the pineapple chunks in work bowl of food processor fitted with steel blade until smooth and foamy, about 1 minute. Combine 1/2 cup pureed pineapple with lemon and lime juices and sugar.
4. Strain juice mixture into 1-quart pitcher or cocktail shaker. Add tequila, Triple Sec, and 1 cup of the crushed ice; stir or shake until thoroughly combined and chilled, 20 to 60 seconds.
5. Divide 1 cup crushed ice between 4 or 6 margarita or double old-fashioned glasses. Strain into ice-filled glasses; serve immediately, raise glasses,clink and say “CHEERS”!
Use the remaining pineapple chunks for the second round! Or double the recipe for larger groups. I learned that straining is key, I made the first round WITHOUT straining the pineapple mixture and found it to be too thick Enjoy, and as always... CHEERS! Tags

Harvest pumpkin pie liqueur was a recent addition to our store that I had been hearing good customer feedback about lately..jpg)
am decidedly not a vodka drinker I would say that it was fair for the price. It wasn’t harsh and had a light nose, though it was obviously no match for the likes of Belvedere or Grey Goose.
