This pumpkin martini is like a milkshake in a cocktail glass... only much better.

Pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, half and half, and vodka. I'd substitute this for a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert.
A friend sent me this recipe and commanded that I make and post this, and being the ever obedient and devoted friend, I obliged. Fortunately, I had some leftover pumpkin puree from this post, but if you don't want to open a whole can of pumpkin puree, you can use pumpkin baby food. Picture yourself buying a bottle of vanilla vodka and a single jar of pumpkin baby food....
Justification for having one of these? A shot of vitamin A. Right?

Looks inviting! I want to make this, just for the checker's reaction alone, when I set down that bottle of vodka and single jar of baby food on the conveyor belt. ;)
