My friend and fellow blogger Bianca has this kick-ass cupcake of the month feature on her blog, so I'm running with that concept for Cocktails and Heels with a monthly cocktail.
I love fall and September brings it in, so here's an Autumn inspired cocktail I mixed up that you simply have to try. I call it "Cider Thyme."
Cider Thyme
1 shot premium vodka
1/2 shot Gran Marnier (or Gran Gala)
1.5 shots of apple cider
4 springs fresh thyme (save one for garnish)
Pumpkin Pie Spice (dash)
Remove the leaves of 3 thyme springs and put the leaves in a cocktail shaker along with the liquids. Mix until very cold, about 30 seconds.
Pour into a glass over ice and top with Pumpkin Pie Spice.
(If you like a sweeter cocktail, add more cider or orange liquer to taste)
Thanks for the shout out! I especially love that this recipe uses apple cider, since I have about a gallon of it in my fridge and have been trying to figure out various ways to use it before it goes bad!
ReplyDeleteAlso, cupcakes and cocktails?? Pefection!
No problem girl. Yes, cocktails and cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteAnother way to use Cider - Warm up a cup and add some brandy, a couple of cloves and some cinnamon for a cozy after dinner drink.
Cheers!
