Scorpio64 5,156 Posted November 22, 2017 Here's a couple delicious recipes for Thanksgiving day. These are favorites that I've been serving for a few years. Pumpkin Pie Martini. 2 parts pumpkin spice vodka (there are several brands, any will do) 1 part Baily's Irish Cream. Splash of light cream or half and half Whipped cream Ground nutmeg Ice Shake vodka, Baily's and light cream mixture in ice filled shaker, pour into chilled martini glass, top with whipped cream, sprinkle with nutmeg, drink, repeat until unable to repeat. After Dinner Espresso. 2 jiggers Van Gough Espresso or Double Espresso Vodka Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino Whipped cream Chocolate covered Pocky sticks. Ground cinnamon Pour 2 jiggers vodka into a coffee cup (use the nice ones with a saucer if possible), pour Frappuccino leaving enough room for whipped cream, top with whipped cream, sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon, garnish (optional) with Pocky stick or any similar confection such as chocolate coated pretzel sticks. This goes extremely well with dessert. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Patrick 638 Posted November 22, 2017 I'll have a beer washed down with a little of this stuff neat. I usually hate rye but received this as a gift, very very flavorful and probably not for the purist Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm more of a dirty martini fan, myself. But, I do like a sweet after-dinner drink (it's like dessert in a glass!) and that espresso sounds divine! I'll make that up.... for myself anyway! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted November 22, 2017 FIL used to always put a shot of Romana Sambuca into his espresso after dinner. What don't kill ya makes you stronger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimB1 555 Posted November 23, 2017 My usual mixed drink is Jamison's Black Barrel with an ice cube or two (that's the mix part) I do have to make my wife's drink of choice: 1 shot of Jamison's (I just use the regular Jamison's for this) 6 oz of Ginger Ale (whatever kind you like, I like Canada Dry because it's not too sweet) Juice from half a lime Add a lime slice for garnish (or for additional lime juice if the person wants to drop it in) -Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
