Frisky Friday 9/14: Pumpkin Martini

Thanks to About.com we can share this recipe with you guys.  This weeks cocktail involves a little bit more work than most of our Frisky Friday posts, but we feel it’s well worth the extra effort.  Ingredients for this martini include: Grey Goose La Poire vodka, triple sec, simple syrup, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, and the kicker, pumpkin butter.

About.com and Smitten Kitchen both have great recipes for pumpkin butter or you can find it at Trader Joe’s.

Now, after you have acquired or created the pumpkin butter for this delicious fall inspired cocktail the rest is pretty simple.  All you need to do is combine 1 part of each the Grey Goose and pumpkin butter, 1/2 part each of the triple sec and simple syrup, and a pinch of each the cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.  Then shake this mouth watering concoction vigorously until the shaker is too cold for your hand to hold any longer.  Finally, strain into a martini glass, and garnish with an apple chip.

All you need to do now is sip your tasty martini and wait for the weather to cool down.
