Thanksgiving calls for all things Pumpkin and that has to include a tasty cocktail, am I right? Sharing the perfect pre dinner or even after dinner sipper to help savour the moment. Pumpkin spice and a bit of Espresso helps create the perfect Pumpkin Spiced Espresso Martini.
Imagine sipping this with a slice of Pumpkin Pie or even pre Turkey Dinner? My mouth is starting to water just thinking of this weekends feast ( Cuz yes Canadian Thanksgiving is happening now)
