Tis the season.

Recently someone told me I looked like I needed a drink. With the day I was having they couldn't have been more right. The thing is though, I haven't been drinking much lately and I really wasn't sure what I was in the mood for. I thought about trying something with pumpkin in it but with 10 minutes before the liquor store closed I needed to act fast. 

And behold this marvelously delicious creation: The Caramel Apple Pie Cocktail.

Very simple and just what the doctor ordered for unwinding on a a chilly Autumn evening after as stressful day. 

And if you're like me and can't really hold your liquor anymore it's light enough to not leave you feeling like crap in the morning. 

1 oz Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur

1 oz Stoli Salted Karamel Vodka

1 Cup apple cider

Place in martini shaker with ice and serve in whatever you have handy. 

(The beef opted for drinking vessel made of wood) 

Also wonderful when sipped beside a candy corn and buttercream candle.

Oh yum

Not often but sometimes I drink alcohol. I used to drink a lot of super creative drinks but I got old and lost the ability to handle my alcohol and pretty much just stopped drinking all together. On occasion though I still dabble. Tonight was one of those nights and here's what I came up with.

Using a non alcoholic recipe I found on pinterest I decided to make the skinny alcoholic orange julius.


Ingredients
1/3 cup Absolute Vanilla Vodka (I'd probably use 1/4 next time)
⅔  cup orange juice
⅓ cup Silk light vanilla soy milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 packages Equal
1½  cups ice cubes

Put it in a blender, blend for about a minute and Ah-Ha! Supper yummy alcoholic beverage.

Enjoy responsibly.
